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 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

What cuts of meat are in a T-bone steak?

The T-Bone is cut from the short loin, and actually has two different steaks attached to the bone.

Is T-bone steak a good cut of meat?

T-bone steaks are generally considered one of the highest quality steaks.

Is T-bone tough or tender?

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

    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!

    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!

    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!
