Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Remove the New York strip steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps get a nice crust.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika together to make a seasoning rub.
- Generously apply the seasoning mix all over the steaks, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Cook the steaks for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping them halfway through cooking time. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness: 8-10 minutes for rare, 12-14 minutes for medium, and 14-16 minutes for well-done.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
- Slice against the grain, and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes
For best results, ensure your air fryer is preheated. To enhance the steak's flavor, consider marinating it before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
