Did you forget to thaw the steaks for dinner tonight? Don't worry about it! You can cook Frozen Steak in the Air Fryer right now, without any need to plan ahead.
Gather your ingredients. Preheat the air fryer at 380°F/190°C for 5 minutes.
Place the frozen steaks on a plate. Brush with olive oil on both sides.
Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
Place the frozen steaks in the air fryer basket. Air Fry at 380°F/190°C for 13-16 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through. Cook until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130-140°F for medium rare.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
Air fry the steak straight from frozen. You do not need to let the steak thaw at all!
I used frozen ribeye steaks that were approximately ⅔ lb each and about 1 inch thick. Depending on the size of your steak, you may need more or less time in the air fryer.
I like my steak medium/medium-rare which took about 13 minutes in the air fryer. If you like yours more well done you will likely need to cook for 14-16 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to know when your steaks are done.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
