Season the steaks
Yes, you can cook two steaks in a NuWave air fryer. The NuWave Oven offers a fast and convenient cooking approach, similar to a microwave, but delivering better and healthier results. When using a NuWave, steak is penetrated with a specific kind of heat, ensuring that the inside is fully cooked without burning the outside.
Cover both sides of the steaks with your chosen seasoning. You can use a simple seasoning of salt and pepper, or try something more complex like a dry rub or marinade. If you're using a dry rub, make sure to pat the steaks dry with a paper towel before applying the seasoning. This will help the seasoning stick to the meat.
Some popular seasonings for steak include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs like rosemary or thyme. You can also use a store-bought steak seasoning blend, or make your own by mixing together your favourite spices.
Once your steaks are seasoned, you're ready to cook them in the air fryer. Place a mesh rack on the second-highest rack holder guide in the air fryer. Insert the meat probe into the probe jack, but don't put it into the meat yet. Set the NuWave Brio 14Q to 400° F. Press and hold the Probe button for 2 seconds. Set the meat probe to your desired temperature. For medium-well, set the temperature to 155° F. Press the Preheat button, then press Start/Pause to begin the preheat.
After the preheat is complete, arrange the steaks on the mesh rack. Place the meat probe into the thickest part of one of the steaks. Press Start/Pause to begin cooking. The total cooking time will depend on the thickness of your steaks and your desired level of doneness. For a 1-inch thick steak, cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or 12-14 minutes for medium.
When the steaks are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a juicy, tender steak. Enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer steaks!
