# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until fully combined. This aromatic garlic herb butter will elevate your Air Fryer T-Bone Steak.
02 -
Pat dry the 1 (1 and 1/2 lb) T-Bone steak with paper towels. This ensures a good sear. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then rub evenly over both sides of the steak.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp onion powder. Generously season both sides and edges of the T-Bone steak with this mixture.
04 -
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes. This crucial step ensures even cooking and a beautiful crust on your Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter.
05 -
Place the seasoned T-Bone steak in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 7-8 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F). Adjust time for desired doneness, flipping halfway through.
06 -
Transfer the cooked Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter to a cutting board. Immediately top with a generous dollop of the prepared garlic herb butter. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 135-140°F, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes per side. For well-done, target 150-155°F.
02 -
Don't skip the resting step! It allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like chives or oregano in your compound butter, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
04 -
This delicious Air Fryer T-Bone Steak pairs wonderfully with roasted asparagus, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad.
