Air Fryer Tri Tip Steak
This Air Fryer Tri Tip Steak is well seasoned and cooked to perfection in the air fryer, which leaves it with a deliciously cooked exterior and tender juicy interior.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pound (1 kg) tri tip
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) paprika smoked or Spanish
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) pepper
Instructions
- Take the tri tip out of the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before cooking.
- Mix together all the seasonings with the olive oil in a bowl. Coat the tri tip with the rub.
- Spray the basket of your air fryer and place the tri tip inside. Cook at 380°F for 14 minutes, flipping it over half way through. Then check the internal temperature.
- Take the meat out of the air fryer when it reaches a few degrees shy of what you prefer and let it rest.
- Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing and slice against the grain for tenderness.
Notes
- Check the internal temperature of the meat for the desired doneness. 130° for rare, 140° for medium rare, 145-150° for medium, and 160° for well done.
- I always take the meat out of the air fryer when it reaches a few degrees shy of what I prefer and then let it rest. The carry over cooking as it rests will bring it p to the final temperature.
- Be sure to let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the juices can be come redistributed.
- Slice against the grain in this slices.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
