How To Make Air Fryer Steak Tips
Ingredients needed
- Steak (thick cut like sirloin or NY strip)
- Seasonings (listed below)
Choosing the right steak and proper cutting
- For air fryer steak tips, you’re going to want thick cuts. If you cut them too thin, they will over cook before you can get a nice color on them.
- You’ll need to choose a tender cut of steak. Something like chuck roast pieces won’t work here because the steak tips will be super tough.
Making the steak tips in the air fryer
- First, cut the steak into large chunks. About one-inch cubes, they will shrink down but they’ll cook better this way.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
- In a bowl, toss in the seasoning mix with a little oil then coat all the steak tips.
- Add the steak to the air fryer then cook for 6-8 minutes. Check at 6 minutes for preferred doneness. If you cut the steak into bigger chunks this amount of time the steak will be medium to medium-well.
- Do not flip the steak. Not flipping them allows one side to face the direct heat to cause a little bit of a flavorful sear that we love with steak.
- After they are cooked, allow them to rest about 3-5 minutes then enjoy.
