Why this recipe works
rump steak by internal temperature instead of feeling
The air fryer does not provide as strong a contact crust as a heavy pan, but can cook thick steaks reliably and without a grease splash. A thermometer is indispensable, because performance, meat thickness and desired cooking level change the time significantly. Thin minute steaks are less suitable for this method.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Air Fryer Steak
Not less than three centimeters
Thick steaks develop outside colour before the centre cooks too far. Thin slices become dry faster.
Plan a rest period
When resting, the internal temperature rises still slightly and the leaking meat juice is better distributed in the steak.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air Fryer Steak
After preheating, a 3 cm thick steak usually takes 8 to 12 minutes. The measured internal temperature remains decisive.
Approximately 56 to 58 °C before rest usually result in medium. For risk groups, stricter recommendations for full heating apply.
Yes. Unique turning improves the even browning and balances out the stronger upper heat of many devices.
The crust is usually weaker, because direct contact with very hot metal is missing. Preheating and dry surface help.
For a controllable cooking level, the steak should be completely thawed in the refrigerator. Frozen meat cooks unevenly on the outside and inside.
