Ingredients
Scale
Steaks
- 2 pounds Eye of Round Roast, cut into 1 ½ inch thick steaks
- 1 tablespoon Oil (to prevent sticking)
- 2 tablespoons Steak Seasoning (a well-balanced blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to enhance flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground Black Pepper (for a kick)
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Lightly drizzle oil into the air fryer basket to prevent the steaks from sticking during the cooking process.
- Season the Steaks: Generously sprinkle the steak seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over both sides of the eye of round steaks to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Place Steaks in Air Fryer: Arrange the seasoned steaks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Steaks: Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F and cook the steaks for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until they reach your preferred doneness.
- Rest the Steaks: Carefully remove the steaks from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5 minutes; this helps juices redistribute for optimal tenderness and flavor.
Notes
- For thicker or thinner steaks, adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Letting the steaks rest is crucial for juicy results.
- You can customize steak seasoning based on your flavor preference.
- Check doneness with a meat thermometer: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook steaks in batches to avoid crowding.
