Method
Preheating the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer is a good practice to ensure even cooking, but the temperature may vary depending on the model of your air fryer. 200°C (or 400°F) is a common temperature setting, but you should adjust based on the manufacturer's recommendations and your experience with your specific air fryer.
Seasoning the Steak: Marinating the steak with salt and pepper is a great idea to enhance flavor. Just ensure not to over-marinate, as the salt can draw out moisture from the steak if left for too long.
Infusing Flavor: Adding butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan is a delicious way to infuse flavor into the steak. Just be mindful not to let the garlic cloves burn, as burnt garlic can impart a bitter taste.
Pan Cooking: Cooking the meat slices for 3 minutes on each side in the pan should yield medium-rare to medium doneness, depending on the thickness of the slices. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
Wrapping for Air Fryer: Wrapping the meat slices, butter sauce, and other ingredients in parchment paper inside foil before cooking in the air fryer is a creative way to lock in moisture and flavors. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent any juices from leaking out during cooking.
Resting the Steak: Allowing the cooked steak to rest for 5 minutes before serving is crucial to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more tender steak.
