Get ready to enjoy a juicy, perfectly cooked T-bone steak with a crispy, golden-brown crust—all made effortlessly in your air fryer! This quick and easy method locks in flavor, making it a steakhouse-quality meal right at home.

Ingredients:

  • 1 T-bone steak (about 1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Pat the T-bone steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.

Step 2: Season the Steak

3. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly on both sides of the steak, pressing it in gently.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the Steak

6. Place the steak in the air fryer basket, ensuring it lies flat without overlapping.
7. Cook for 8–10 minutes for medium-rare, flipping the steak halfway through. Adjust time based on your preferred doneness:

  • Rare: 6–7 minutes
  • Medium: 10–12 minutes
  • Well-done: 12–14 minutes

Step 5: Rest and Serve

8. Remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Top with butter and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Tip: Pair this mouthwatering steak with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad for a complete meal!
