Notes
- Eye of round is exceptionally lean with very little fat, meaning it quickly turns tough if overcooked. Pull it at medium-rare to medium, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, and always slice thin against the grain to keep each bite tender.
- Since air fryers vary in heat power and steak thickness differs, rely on an instant-read meat thermometer rather than a timer to ensure perfectly cooked beef every time.
- Arrange the steaks in a single layer with space between each piece so rapid hot air can circulate freely and sear a crisp, caramelized crust.
