Super shocked it worked out well. Still prefer the grill, but for dinner in a pinch it was great! 400 for 12 min, flip, another 12 & rested 5 min.

How did it taste?
And did you do it on the bake or air fry setting?

Thanks. I’ve seen this work, seems the limiting factor is how hot you can get an air fryer, and for most it seems definitely short of 500. Makes me wonder if maybe starting with a colder steak might mitigate the lower temp and allow for more time to develop a crust?

Yup, When I buy meat I freeze it first before I cook it in the Air fryer so I can get a nice burn on the outside and still rare inside.

My air fryer also has a “grill” setting and attachment so it gets up to around 500. Might be heresy but I think it’s much easier and more consistent than grilling with the same results. Even get the grill lines

So you cook it right after you take it out of the freezer?

At what point did you apply the seasoning? Like prior to freezing or midway through cooking?

How long did you cook it at 400?

It’s definitely the best lazy or busy steak you can do. I love throwing these in before a mid day teams meeting.

It’s a lifesaver especially if you forgot to thaw your meat and you’re really craving for steak right now. Granted, it’s not as good as a proper pan fry or a grill, but I’d say it gets you 80% there imo.
Edit: not the best photo but the only one I got showing doneness from an airfyer. ~8 mins at 200C/392F for an inch thick rib eye.
I work with a guy that cooks 2” steaks in the air fryer daily. Watched him cut into it and it looked like a solid medium /medium rare. Not bad honestly

I mean, for cooking from frozen this looks great to me! I’ve paid a lot of money for steaks that didn’t look anywhere near as good. Also, it being a ribeye, I wonder if the 24 min cook time helped render some of the fat?

I do frozen steaks all the time. They always come out perfect.

You cooked it from frozen without thawing it at all? I’m shocked it cooked in so little time.

This is amazing!
Question: since it’s an air fryer, is there any reason to flip? Doesn’t the convection move the air around all sides of the steak anyway?

Yum

Ooo what size was the steak?? Now I wanna try 😭

Did you cook it from frozen? Or thaw it before hand?
rayrayheyhey
That looks a lot better than I expected it to.
