The cooking time of your air fryer steak depends on how you like your steak. The temperatures below were tested with both New York strip and ribeye steaks. Here are the different times that scale from rare to well done:

• 135ºF – rare
• 140ºF – medium rare
• 150ºF – medium
• 165ºF – well-done

How to Make Perfectly Cooked Steak in the Air Fryer

Season your steak with 1 tablespoon of steak dry rub (or more if you would like) and massage the seasoning into both sides of the steak. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. 

Next, preheat the air fryer to 400ºF and drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of the air fryer. 

Transfer the steak to the air fryer and drizzle it with the rest of the olive oil. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. 

When the steak reaches 135ºF (for medium rare), remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. 

Serve and enjoy your delicious steak!
