How long do you air fry steak?

A 1-inch ribeye or NY strip takes 10–14 minutes at 400°F (205°C), flipped at 6 minutes — roughly 6–7 minutes per side for medium-rare (130–135°F / 54–57°C). A 1.5-inch steak needs 14–18 minutes. Always use a meat thermometer: 125°F rare, 135°F medium-rare, 145°F medium, 160°F well-done.

What temperature should I air fry steak at?

400°F (205°C) gives the best exterior sear in the air fryer. Preheat for at least 5 minutes before adding the steak. For very thick cuts (1.5 in+) or tender cuts like filet mignon, 390°F (199°C) allows more even cooking without over-browning the outside before the center reaches the target temperature.

How do I know when air fryer steak is done?

Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part: 125°F (52°C) rare, 135°F (57°C) medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) medium, 155°F (68°C) medium-well, 160°F (71°C) well-done. Pull the steak 5°F before the target — carryover during the 5-minute rest will finish it. Do not rely on color or juice clarity alone.

Tips

Bring steak to room temperature (30–45 min out of the fridge) before cooking — a cold center means the outside overcooks before the inside reaches the target temp.
Pat the steak completely dry and season generously with salt and pepper; avoid marinades with sugar which burn in the air fryer.
Preheat for at least 5 minutes — a hot basket is what creates the Maillard crust.
Flip only once, at the halfway point, for even browning on both sides.
Rest for 5 minutes under foil after cooking; carryover raises the internal temp 5–8°F and redistributes juices.

Veelgemaakte fouten

Skipping the rest — steak cut immediately bleeds all its juices onto the board.
Cooking straight from the refrigerator; a cold center means the outside overcooks before the inside finishes.
Overcrowding with two or more steaks touching each other — they steam rather than sear.
Using a sweet marinade; sugars hit their smoke point quickly at 400°F and char before the steak is done.
Not using a thermometer; steak doneness varies by 10–15°F for different cuts and thicknesses — guessing by time alone is unreliable.
