Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer T-Bone Steak
You can cook a steakhouse-worthy T-bone right in the air fryer — a deeply browned crust outside, juicy and pink inside, with no smoky skillet. The high circulating heat sears both sides while the bone keeps the meat moist.
All it needs is oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Rest it a few minutes and you've got a restaurant steak in under 20.
Ingredients
Instructions
Season
Pat the steak dry and brush both sides with oil. Season both sides with fine salt, pepper and granulated garlic.
Air fry
Place in the basket and air fry at 400°F for about 13 minutes total for medium, flipping at the 7-minute mark and sprinkling the top with coarse salt.
Rest
Rest the steak 5 minutes before slicing so the juices settle.
- Use a thermometer: 130°F medium-rare, 140°F medium, 150°F medium-well.
- Take the steak out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
- Resting is non-negotiable — slice too soon and the juices run out.
