Air Fryer Steak

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sirloin steaks, 1 inch thick (1 1/2 lbs total)
• Olive oil spray  

Optional additions:

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. Prep steak: Combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spray steaks with olive oil and coat both sides with the spice mixture. Add optional ingredients if desired.
2. Preheat air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
3. Air fry: Place steaks in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10-12 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature:
   • Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)
   • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
   • Medium-well: 160°F (71°C)
4. Rest and serve: Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Optional additions:

• For extra flavor: Add chopped herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme) or red pepper flakes to the spice mixture.
• For a richer texture: Use a combination of olive oil and butter to coat the steaks.
• For a spicier kick: Increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
