Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
to taste Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
to taste Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Prepare Garlic-Herb Butter:
Combine 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (at room temperature), 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, 1 grated garlic clove, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside. - Season the Steak:
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning. Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. - Preheat Air Fryer:
Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to preheat, ensuring it’s ready for cooking the steak. - Cook the Steak:
Place the seasoned steak in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes if you prefer medium-rare, 12 minutes for medium, or 14 minutes for medium-well. Remember to flip the steak halfway through the cooking time for even cooking. - Rest the Steak:
After cooking, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. This step is crucial for allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. - Serve:
Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Top each slice with a dollop of the prepared garlic-herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm steak. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
