Whether you forgot to thaw your steak (#relatable) or you have a sudden-onset craving for steak and don’t have one thawed, knowing how to cook one from frozen is a handy skill. Time to break out the air fryer.
Thanks to this fantastic appliance, you can go from “I want steak” to cutting into one in under 30 minutes.
The trick to seasoning an air-fried frozen steak
One thing to note about air frying a frozen steak: You can’t marinate it, and the seasonings don’t have as much time to penetrate, so it requires more seasoning than you may be used to.
Salt and pepper can stay the same, but for other herbs and spices, or rubs, plan to use about 50% more than you would with a thawed steak. Also, after slicing, sprinkle the steak with coarse sea salt to make sure you get a little hit of salt in every bite.
