Tools for this easy recipe

You'll want an air fryer with a nice large basket if you want to cook both steaks at the same time. Also, you will need a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your steaks. It should read between 133-135F when you remove it from the air fryer basket for a perfect medium rare!

How to make NY strip steaks in an air fryer

1. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Pre-heat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 390F.
3. Cook for 6 minutes, then flip the steaks over and cook for another 6 minutes.
4. Check with a meat thermometer and remove once an internal temperature reaches 133-135F for medium rare steaks.

Note: If you don't let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking them, you will need to increase the cooking time.

It is very important to check the internal temperature of your steak! Below is a chart for the doneness of steaks. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak.

• Medium Rare: internal temperature is 133-135F.
• Medium: internal temperature of 140F,
• Medium Well: internal temperature  of 150 

Stovetop + Oven Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 425F
2. Let the steak get to room temperature (around 30 minutes)
3. Season the strip steak with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a skillet over high heat.
5. Add a little avocado oil to the hot skillet and place the steaks in the skillet. I prefer cast iron if I cook a steak on the stovetop and finish it in the oven.
6. Sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side.
7. Transfer steak to a preheated oven at 425F.
8. Cook until it reaches your desired doneness.
9. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Substitutions

• You can use a ribeye, sirloin, or T-bone steak if you don't have any strip steaks. You'll want to be sure it’s a thicker steak because thin steaks will cook more quickly and won’t be medium rare at the stated cooking time.
• If you have a favorite steak seasoning, you can use that instead of the salt and pepper listed.
