Air Fryer T-Bone Steak
Steak in the Air Fryer...who would have thought it would come out so good?!
After I made this juicy Air Fryer Ribeye Steak I've been trying all types of steak in my air fryer! I've even made a New York strip steak, Bacon Wrapped Ribeye Steak and a bacon wrapped chuck tender filet in the air fryer!
Honestly this is one of my favorite ways to cook steak, along with the Blackstone. It comes out perfect and juicy every single time!
I must admit the first time I made a T-bone steak in the air fryer I followed my same cooking time and directions as my ribeye and it came out more medium-well than medium rare.
I was disappointed.
I totally forgot that my ribeye was thicker than my T-bone steak and my ribeye was boneless. I'm assuming the bone in the t-bone long with the thickness made it cook quicker.
You'll still follow the same technique I used to cook my ribeye (pre heating the air fryer and flipping the steak halfway) but the cooking time has been reduced significantly.
And once your have your perfectly air fried t bone steak, top it with some grass fed butter, to this delicious horseradish aioli.

FAQs
The T-Bone is cut from the short loin, and actually has two different steaks attached to the bone.
T-bone steaks are generally considered one of the highest quality steaks.
The T-bone steak is actually two steaks in one. The filet mignon side of the steak is more tender and the strip side of the T-bone less tender. Both are delicious though!

Air Fryer streak?!?!? You should be sentenced to three years in prison for even suggesting cooking a T Bone in an air fryer!
I would rather eat frozen pizza from a box before I would eat a steak in an air fryer.
Shame on you lol

I am new to using the air fryer. We had this last night and it was perfect! I don't think I will be cooking steak any other way from now on! Thanks for helping me be a confident air fryer cook!
Lisa
Since it's too cold to be grilling steak outside, I decided to give the air fryer a try. My T-bone steak was cooked to perfection!
Jennifer
I don't care what ppl say, I loved this! The meat was juicy and flavorful and it was far easier for me to cook a steak in the air fryer than ruin it every time on the grill or on the stove top! Great recipe!
Glenda
So excited about and grateful for this recipe! I have wanted to try steaks in the air fryer for awhile now, but couldn't get up the nerve. Your scrumptious tips and instructions have made it simple. We made ribeyes and they were spectacular. I can't thank you enough!

We have not been able to use our kitchen due to a water pipe break.I decided to cook a T-bone steak in our Ninja. My wife was quite apprehensive.we have not had it long and the meat was a little on the dry side but not bad.I attributed that to difference in temp. In our cooker and the receipt. Our receipt called for 400 for 10-15 min. I started at380 for 8 min,flipping at 4 min. temp was 100, my target was 120 resting to 125 . Upped the temp. To 400 to get a rust. Checked temp every min to get to120. Fixed twice baked potatoes & mushrooms, all in the air fryer. my wife said all were outstanding.

Thank you so much! I don’t have a grill and don’t like the mess of the broiler. This is the first time in a long time that I have enjoyed steak that I made for myself at home. It’s just the right amount of close heat on each side and was done so quickly!
