Ingredients
Steak
- 1 pound round steak
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Coat the round steak evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over both sides, pressing the seasonings gently into the meat.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the steak: Place the seasoned steak in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the steak halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides brown evenly and the meat remains juicy.
- Rest the steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and maintain tenderness.
- Slice and serve: Slice the steak thinly across the grain for the most tender bites before serving.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on steak thickness and your preferred doneness level.
- Always slice across the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Adjust seasonings to taste or add herbs for enhanced flavor.
- Allowing the steak to rest is crucial for juicy results.
