what started one day as a rush to get dinner prepped ended with more experimenting, and i think i’ve dialled in air fried steaks
air fry , rested , seared in stainless steel pan
this is a ribeye , though I’ve done it with tenderloin and striploin as well. cook times vary steak to steak

I’ve done this, it came out with an oddly consistent texture on the surface. Steak was great though, and yours looks good too
The results look amazing. 10/10. The crust is perfect and the steak is medium rare. Just how I like it.
Taste good?
Air fryer is just a mini oven, so yes it works, u just did reverse searing
Honestly, that looks pretty good!!! That’s kinda crazy! I have a toaster oven with an air fryer function (basically super convection) that I use to par-cook the steak before sear, and I was just wondering what it would be like if I finished it with the air fryer. Maybe I’ll give it a try!
Do it often with good results.
That’s basically just reverse seating it. But that’s still cool.
I’ll use the air frier to cook it for a reverse sear if my oven is occupied with vegetables cooking at a higher temp. Realistically it’s just a smaller oven hahaha
Looks tasty. I love my air fryer.
I’ve done it with burgers before I had my grill. Worked really well.
Hey man, I got two 400 gr Entrecôte, would love to test one of them with my air fryer, may I ask about the settings you set it with? Minutes and temp would be great! That looks awesome btw
First time I got an air fryer, I used it for a filet at 450.
About 4-5 min on each side and got a nice Medium that was still juicy
I’ve tried once and overcooked it, haven’t tried again yet
Yessss.
Only I cut my steak into “bites” and throw ’em in a RIPPING hot air fryer. (The basket kind.)
2 mins, open it and shake.
2 mins, pull, rest.
No need to sear in a pan. If the air fryer’s crazyhot, there’s a sear.
Kicks ass. So easy.
Looks great! How long did you cook it and at what temp?
If I’m making one steak, I almost always use my air fryer…however, I use the air broil setting on my ninja. There is of course the standard air fryer setting. Which setting did you use?
That’s so raw bro….. How can anyone eat rare or medium rare? Well done or nothing.
I have not thought of this, but it looks like it turned out perfectly!
I would say I now air fry steak more than I grill it. Smoking hot sear in a pan and then right in the air fryer
Imo, it’s the best way to make a steak. Sear mine on the griddle for a few minutes each side and finish in the air fryer
It’s a great way to cook if I’m just doing one steak for myself. The fat doesn’t quite get as soft as i would like but the meat itself is pretty good
I work with a guy that air fry’s x2 1.5-2” steaks everyday in the break room. They always look great
Please tell us your cook/time settings for this one, OP!
That’s just a reverse sear
Yes and I recommend freezing the steaks first so they stay medium rare (or whatever preference) while developing a good crust.
Works good.
I’ve done this with great results. I wouldn’t do it when making a special meal centered around my steak, but some form of steak is a common quick meal for me.
I also use it to slow roast a nice steak before.after searing. AND, as someone else mentioned, cut into bit sized pieces, toss it around for a quick steak bite meal.
Sure did. Never again. I prefer my kettle.
Turned out surprisingly good.
No, is it… good?
IT’S F****** RAW!
Looks great. I’ve bought 2 air dryers and both made my food taste like plastic. Even did a dry run for a couple of hours before using them.
Nope. I love the air fryer, but I’ve never been a fan of cooking steaks via convection. Ive been doing a traditional sear in cast iron or a grill, then finishing with a butter basting for over 20 years. If it ain’t broken, and all that.
You’ve discovered reverse searing
Nope, never any posts about that in here
My air fryer gets lower than my oven (and is smaller/more energy efficient), so I’ll use the dehydrate setting at like 150°F to get it to where I want internally, then sear in a skillet or on the blackstone. Works out pretty well.
Time and temp please
This looks great but my father would call to have me arrested if I did this 😭
That’s a big roger!
I’ve got a cosori, and I use the metal accessory tray to elevate the steak closer to the heat source. Steak on top of half cooked potatoes. I allow the steak drippings to fall onto the potatoes.
Six to eight minutes at 400 for the steak(rare/medium rare), depending upon cut thickness and how loaded the tray is overall. Can apply to anything underneath, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini.
All in one meal done within 15-20 minutes, and then resting the streak. If someone lives an apartment this is tough to beat.

Next time do them from frozen at 400. I love them this way when I don’t want to start charcoal.
Yeah it works great, I live in an RV, so this is how most of my food is cooked. In an air fryer
Damn. Thats quite a job well done by the air fryer.
