Notes
Pro Tips: For the best sear, pat your steak completely dry with paper towels before seasoning. Always let your steak rest for 10 minutes after cooking; this is the secret to maximum juiciness. Remember, air fryers can vary, so use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. For another fantastic quick-cooking dinner, try our Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet.
