Ingredients
2 strip loin steaks (1.25" thick; or use any steaks of your choosing)
2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
2 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
2 Tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions
1. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper, place on a plate and refrigerate for 2-3 days,
uncovered. Flip every 12 hours or so, blotting the juices with a paper towel. 

This step is recommended for superior tenderness and enhanced flavor, but you can skip it if
pressed for time.
2. Remove the steaks from the fridge 45-60 minutes before cooking and let them sit at room
temperature.
3. Brush the steaks with melted butter on both sides, place on the rack of your air fryer. Cook at
410F for 15 minutes, without pre-heating, for medium doneness. 

Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes less for medium rare and rare respectively, and 1-2 minutes
more for medium-well and well done respectively. The times will need to be adjusted further if
air frying steaks thicker or thinner than 1.25" thick. 

These cooking times are approximate, so use an instant read thermometer in conjunction with
the table in the Notes section.
4. Remove steaks from the air fryer, wrap in foil or wax paper, and let rest for 10 minutes, then
serve. Try serving with compound butter, it will add a ton of flavor.
