Hot Juicy And Tender Air Fryer Steak With Herb Butter
Make a deliucious Hot Juicy And Tender Steak With Herb Butter in your Air Fryer. Serves 2.
The classic grilled steak, fried in a pan, is undoubtedly delicious, but you have to practice it to always get it. Baking steak in the oven is easier, but it doesn’t always get the crispy exterior you want. This is where the air fryer comes in.
Air frying combines simple cooking with all the specialties that need to be closed in a pan. The circulation of hot air quickly browns the steak and gives it golden edges that mimic charcoal. You don’t have to touch a hot boiler, worry about activating a smoke alarm, or dealing with an oil spill.
