Notes

I suggest using a good steak such as Ribeye, Filet Mignon, T-bone, Flat Iron Steak, Tri-Tip Steak, Kansas City Strip Steak, and NY Strip Steak. Use any cut of steak from the tender part of beef.

It is essential to allow steak to rest and come to room temperature before cooking in the air fryer.

Make sure to season your steaks well; do not cook bland steak.

Ensure that all the herbs are room temperature.

Do not overcrowd the air fryer; I typically only cook two steaks at a time in my air fryer because I want them to breathe.

Preheat the air fryer before adding the steak.

Use a meat thermometer, and cook to your desired doneness. I cooked these steaks precisely for 15 minutes for a well done meat. However, you can make them medium or medium-rare as you choose. Set the air fryer for 10 minutes to cook them medium-rare. On the other hand, set the air fryer for 12 minutes to cook them medium. Remember to turn/flip halfway!

After air frying steak, top with the remaining garlic herb butter and allow it to rest before cutting/serving. This will help it release its juices. Also, feel free to drizzle some of the juices back on the steak.

You will likely not use all the garlic herb butter; do not throw it away. You can you make some garlic butter potatoes or green beans with it.
