Pre-heat your air fryer at 180C (355F) for 2 minutes - this will help you to get a lovely sear on the beef steaks when you place them in the air fryer basket.

Pat your steaks dry using some kitchen towel. I always bring my steak to room temperature before cooking with it as I find it enhances the flavour and helps it cook great.

Use the oil of your choice to oil up your steaks. I use a pastry brush to ensure the whole steak is well covered but you could just as easily rub the steaks with your hands to get an even coating on them.

Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Remove the steak from the air fryer, place on a plate and leave it to rest for a few minutes. This will give you time to put together your sides and heat through any sauce you’re serving with your steak.

When I’m in a rush I love to cook up some microwave rice or pressure cooker rice to go with this. It makes for a simple but flavour packed meal and if you buy the microwave rices there are tons of different flavours in the supermarket.
