Cooking sirloin steak in a Ninja Air Fryer is a simple and efficient way to achieve a juicy and perfectly cooked piece of meat. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
First, start by selecting a good quality sirloin steak, preferably around 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
While the steak is resting, preheat your Ninja Air Fryer to 200°C (around 390°F). Season the steak generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. For added flavour, you may want to rub in some garlic powder, paprika, or your favourite steak seasoning.
Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly coat the air fryer basket with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned sirloin steak in the basket, ensuring it lies flat without overlapping. Cook for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping the steak halfway through the cooking time. For medium, cook for an additional minute or two.
When done, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring each bite is succulent. Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy your perfectly cooked sirloin steak!
