Tips
Although this reheating method is so easy it only takes one step, I still have a couple of tips to help you master the process.
- Look at the amount of leftover steak you have and decide how best to slice it up so you end up with pieces that are as close to the same size as possible to promote even cooking inside your air fryer
- Allow the steak to reach room temperature before cooking
- Allowing the steak temperature to rise as the air fryer does will prevent it from becoming chewy or dry
- Use salted butter for slightly better results
