Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). This ensures that your steak will get that lovely, crispy exterior as soon as it goes in. Think of it as setting the stage for a beautiful performance!

In the meantime, take your four sirloin steaks and place them on a cutting board. Drizzle one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each steak. Next, sprinkle on the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Massage those seasonings into the meat to make sure every inch is coated and flavorful. It’s like giving your steak a warm hug!

Once your air fryer is preheated, carefully place the seasoned steaks into the basket. It’s best to arrange them in a single layer, leaving a bit of space between the pieces for even cooking. Air fry the steaks for about 10-12 minutes for a medium-rare finish, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—145°F for medium-rare!

After cooking, don’t rush into slicing those steaks just yet! Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat. You want every bite to be bursting with flavor.
