What You Need for the Steak:
- Two steaks that are about an inch thick
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika that has been smoked
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of butter without salt (to finish)
- For decoration, you can add fresh leaves of rosemary or thyme.
For the Greens:
- One cup of baby carrots
- 1 bunch of broccoli sprouts
- 1 cup of strips of red, yellow, and green bell pepper
- 1 small red onion, cut into pieces
- 2. 5 cups of olive oil
- 1 table spoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
How to Do It Step by Step
- Step 1: Get the steak ready
- To season the steaks, first use paper towels to pat them dry. Spread olive oil on each steak’s two sides. Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder should all be mixed together in a small bowl. Spread this mix of spices out evenly on both sides of the steaks.
- Rest: After you season the steaks, leave them at room temperature for twenty minutes. This lets the spices get deeper into the meat and makes it cook more evenly.
- Step 2: Get the vegetables ready
- Spice up the vegetables: Baby carrots, broccoli florets, bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges should all be put together in a big bowl. Mix garlic powder, salt, and black pepper with olive oil and then put on top. Turn the veggies around to cover them all evenly.
- Step 3: Get the air fryer ready
- Warm up: Get your air fryer ready by setting it to 400°F (200°C). By preheating, you can make sure that the steak and vegetables cook evenly and have a nice, crunchy outside.
- Put the steak and vegetables in order: Spray some cooking spray on the air fryer basket. Make sure the steaks don’t touch when you put them in the basket. Place the seasoned veggies in a single line around the steaks.
- Step 4: Get the steak and vegetables ready to cook.
- The first cook: Take the steak and vegetables and cook them at 400°F for 10 minutes. For even cooking, flip the steaks and stir the veggies after 10 minutes.
- Finish making the food:
- Keep cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until it’s done the way you like it:
- For medium-rare, take the steak out of the oven when it reaches 130°F (54°C). For medium, take it out when it hits 140°F (60°C).
- For medium-well, take the steak out of the oven when it reaches 150°F (66°C).
- Butter Finish: Put a small piece of butter on each steak and let it melt when they are done the way you like them. This makes the steak taste better and keeps it juicy.
- Step 5: Fill in the blanks
- Put the steak down: Place the steaks on a plate and cover them with foil. A five-minute break is good. This helps the juices move around in the meat, making sure the steak is soft and full of flavor.
- Finish and Serve: If you want, you can decorate the steaks with fresh sprigs of rosemary or thyme. The steak and baked vegetables make a full and filling meal when served together.
How to Make the Best Steak and Vegetables
- Even Cooking: For even cooking, make sure the veggies and steaks are in a single layer and not crowded in the air fryer pan.
- Sprinkle a lot of seasoning on the steak and vegetables. Don’t be shy about it. The air fryer’s great heat can sometimes make tastes less noticeable, so be sure to season the food well.
- Time to Rest: After cooking, the steak should always be left to rest. This step is very important if you want the steak to stay soft.
Ideas for Pairing
Add these sides to your meal to make it better:
- Mashed Potatoes: A juicy steak goes well with mashed potatoes that are creamy and sweet.
- Caesar Salad: The rich steak and roasted vegetables go well with the crisp and cool Caesar salad.
- If you want to make your meal even better, add some warm, crispy garlic bread.
