Air Fryer Sirloin Steaks with Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

• 2 sirloin  steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon  olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

For the Garlic Butter:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:
   • • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
   • Rub both sides with olive oil.
   • In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
   • Season the steaks evenly on both sides with the spice mixture.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
3. Cook the Steaks:
   • Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
   • Air fry at 400°F for 8-12 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness:
     • • Medium-Rare: 8 minutes (internal temp 130°F)
       • Medium: 10 minutes (internal temp 140°F)
     • Medium-Well: 12 minutes (internal temp 150°F)
   • Flip the steaks halfway through cooking for even browning.
4. Make the Garlic Butter:
   • While the steaks are cooking, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
5. Rest the Steaks:
   • Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.
6. Serve:
   • Top each steak with a generous dollop of garlic butter.
   • Serve with your favorite sides.
