Key insights

🌿Adding olive oil, salt, and pepper to the steak before cooking helps enhance the flavors and create a delicious crust.

🍴Cooking the steaks in the airfryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for a specific time on each side ensures a perfect medium rare to medium cut.

Q&A

Why is it important to preheat the airfryer?

Preheating the airfryer ensures that the steak hits a hot cooking environment, which is essential for creating a delicious sear and locking in the flavors.

What is the purpose of letting the steak sit at room temperature?

Letting the steak sit at room temperature before cooking prevents it from becoming dry and allows for more even cooking.

Can I use a different type of seasoning instead of Montreal steak seasoning?

Absolutely! While Montreal steak seasoning adds a nice flavor, you can use your own favorite seasoning if you prefer.

Why should I let the cooked steaks rest?

Allowing the steaks to rest allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.

How can I adjust the cooking time if my steak is thicker?

If your steak is thicker, you may need to increase the cooking time slightly to ensure that it reaches your desired level of doneness.
