Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 pounds Eye of Round Roast, cut into steaks 1 ½ inches thick
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for drizzling to prevent sticking)
- 2 tablespoons Steak Seasoning (well-balanced blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to enhance flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Pepper, freshly ground (for a subtle kick)
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Begin by drizzling a light layer of oil onto the air fryer basket to prevent the steaks from sticking during cooking.
- Season the Steaks: Generously sprinkle the steak seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper evenly over all sides of the eye of round steaks, ensuring full flavor coverage.
- Arrange the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks flat in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow even air circulation and cooking.
- Cook the Steaks: Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F and cook the steaks for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through if desired to promote even browning.
- Rest the Steaks: After cooking, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary slightly based on steak thickness and air fryer model.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial to retain juices and improve tenderness.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- For a more well-done steak, increase cooking time by 2-3 minutes but monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
