Alright, folks, let’s talk about making tri-tip steak in the air fryer. It’s a real game-changer, I’m telling ya. You can whip up a steak that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant, but you’re just chillin’ at home in your PJs. I tried this the other day, and let me walk you through it, step-by-step, just like I did it.
Get the Steak Ready
First thing I did was grab my tri-tip steak. I made sure it wasn’t too cold, you know, let it sit out for a bit. Room temp is the way to go. Then I seasoned it. Nothing fancy, just my go-to spices. Make sure you get both sides, don’t be shy with the seasoning.
Into the Air Fryer
Next, I got my air fryer ready. I just placed the seasoned tri-tip right in the basket. No need for any oil, the air fryer does its magic without it. I’m all about keeping things simple.
Cooking Time
- Set the timer: I set the timer for about 10 minutes for each side.
- Flip it good: After the first 10 minutes, I flipped the steak. You gotta make sure both sides get that nice, crispy finish.
- A few more minutes: I cooked it for another 10 minutes. You might need a bit more or less time, depending on how you like your steak and your air fryer.
The Moment of Truth
Once the timer dinged, I took the steak out. Oh boy, did it smell amazing! I let it rest for a few minutes. Patience is key, my friends. Resting lets the juices settle, making the steak even more tender and delicious.
Enjoy Your Steak
Finally, I sliced it up and dug in. Let me tell you, it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. It’s amazing what you can do with an air fryer these days, right? It’s like having a secret weapon in the kitchen.
So, that’s how I cooked tri-tip steak in my air fryer. It’s easy, it’s tasty, and it’s something I’ll definitely be doing again. Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out for you!
