Imagine: a sudden urge to savor a juicy steak hits you, but the only one you have is still frozen. No need to panic! With your Air Fryer, you can enjoy a delicious steak, even frozen, in just 8 minutes. Incredible, right?
Why choose the Air Fryer to cook your steak?
The Air Fryer has become a must-have in our modern kitchens. It allows for quick and even cooking of food, with little to no oil. But did you know that it is also perfect for cooking a steak, even when it is frozen? No more long waits for thawing or disappointing results on the stove. With the Air Fryer, your steak will be cooked to perfection, with a beautiful golden crust on the outside and incomparable tenderness on the inside.
Steps to cook a frozen steak in the Air Fryer
1. Preparing the steak
- Take the steak out of the freezer: No need to thaw it.
- Lightly brush it with oil: Use olive oil or another oil of your choice.
- Season generously: Salt, pepper, and why not a pinch of herbes de Provence or garlic powder to enhance the flavors.
2. Preheating the Air Fryer
- Preheat the device to 200°C: This ensures even cooking from the start.
3. Cooking the steak
- Place the steak in the basket: Make sure there is enough space around it for good air circulation.
- Set to cook for 8 minutes: Halfway through, flip the steak for even cooking.
4. After cooking
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes: This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring even juicier meat.
- Add a pat of butter on top: For an extra indulgent touch.
Tips for a perfect steak
- Use a meat thermometer: For accurate cooking, aim for an internal temperature of 50°C for rare, 60°C for medium, and 70°C for well done.
- Experiment with marinades: Before freezing your steaks, marinate them to add extra flavors during cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: For optimal cooking, avoid placing too much food in the Air Fryer at once.
Why is this method revolutionary?
Traditionally, cooking a frozen steak was not recommended due to the risks of uneven cooking. However, the Air Fryer, with its hot air circulation technology, overcomes this obstacle. The heat is distributed evenly, ensuring perfect cooking from the surface to the center of the meat. Moreover, this method is quick, convenient, and reduces the need for added fats, making your meal healthier.
