Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩‍🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀

[@46GarageUSA]

Oil and salt steak 🥩 Pre heat 450 for 6 min Put steak in 400 for 6 mins . Flip and cook at 400 for 6. Then 450 for 2 mins Rest put butter on

[@robertbreeze3466]

My perfect air fryer steak is a thick cut boneless NY Strip marinated all day in soy sauce and mustard cooked at 400 for 15 minutes. Yum!

[@crystalperkins5382]

I admit I was very skeptical about steak in the air fryer. But WOW! It is so flipping good! I have also converted all my steak snob friends into believers as well. I will have to try some "wooster sheer" sauce butter!

[@cherylsue1042]

Thank you. My Air fryer is only 1 week old. Your videos are the best. Great taste testers to.

[@mathogre]

I typically cook NY strip steaks. Seasoning? I use fresh ground pepper blend while cooking and salt after. While I like Worcestershire sauce and lumpy habanero sauce sometimes for dipping, there are times when the steak is so go it needs nothing else.

[@darlene2861]

Thank you Cathy, I always love your videos.

[@stevecomb180]

Now I’m just an old country boy I drive truck and ride motorcycles. My twin daughters walked into my house with one of these air fryers and I said just leave it in the backyard near the burn barrel. They asked me to give it a chance and showed me your website, and I have to say… Very Very impressed. Thank you young Lady. I even got a bigger inverter for my W900 and i take it over the road with me. 🤘🤘🤘🫡

[@KelvinsKitchen]

Wow, Kathy, this video blew me away! Your seven secrets for cooking steak in the air fryer are absolute game-changers! Your clear explanations and step-by-step instructions make it so easy to follow along, even for someone like me who's relatively new to air frying. I love how you emphasize the importance of starting with the right cut of steak and the tempering process to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness. And your herb butter tip? Genius! It adds such a luxurious touch to the finished steak. Thanks to your guidance, I feel confident that I can now create restaurant-quality steak right in my own kitchen. Keep up the fantastic work empowering air fryer owners like myself to explore new culinary horizons beyond just chicken nuggets and fries. Can't wait to try out more of your recipes! 🥩🔥💯

[@evitachapa431]

Yup, I've used use a bunch of your tips when I visited your other videos before seeing this one. It won't replace doing it on the grill but definitely #2 way to make steak. Seasoning-I do the wing it method-usually garlic powder, Mrs. Dash and sometimes onion powder.

[@user-jf8ii6wz6x]

I’ve done my ribeyes in my air fryer for years. Hubby is very picky about his steaks, and they are DELICIOUS! I love your videos. Got your cookbook about a month ago. I’m really enjoying it. I think I’m going to make the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins this afternoon. Yum!

[@dawn4999]

I cannot wait to try steak in my air fryer! To season my steak, I put a little EVOO on it (but I will use avocado oil, per your recommendation), garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Thank you for the video! ❤

[@DianeC.]

Hi Kathy!!! I never made steak in the AF. I should give your recipe a try one day. Looks mighty delish to me...Thanks for this .YUMS!!! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Great Video my dear friend!!!...🦋

[@theresac2944]

Hi Cathy , another great video❤ thanks so much you’re longtime fan.

[@nicolescott4564]

I like to cook mine in plenty of crack pepper only and it comes out juicy. Thank you so much, this video is much appreciated.

[@nicolekosch4429]

Yes! It is sooooo good!

[@geotrano8564]

😱I never eat steaks cooked any other way than saute with garlic rosemary and wine.. ..I must say..I made it and it was deeeelucious..Thank you for posting.👍

[@lisachapman6492]

Thanks for the video. Down here in Texas our grocery store HEB has the heart shaped ribeyes on sale for Valentines every year. I done them in the oven and grill and airfryer. The grill and airfryer came out best.

[@jamielonghurst6373]

I think it would be helpful to offer a video with time/temp for different preferences of doneness. Your steak appeared medium-well to me. My preference would be closer to a medium rare. Truly enjoy your videos. I use my air fryer every day, sometimes two or three times a day. You have given me great ideas and "how-to's." Most appreciated.

[@lisachapman6492]

That's what the thermometer is for. Rare is one temp and medium rare is another and so forth.

[@DebbieTDP]

You should know the times of your air fryer. Just use a thermometer. I don't as I like my steaks almost raw but with a crispy sear outside

[@jetnight88]

Just got your cookbook and I did pizza bagels and he turned out amazing!

[@brighttooth3592]

Thank you

[@WangChung69]

Great video and awesome presentation. I will try your recipe the next time I’m too lazy to BBQ. 👍

[@MadisonFalco]

I always watch your other video and boom you updated it! lol I love the air fryer steak If people don’t like it; they either didn’t dry or season their steak

[@Banagal]

Oh yum! To cook a good STEAK is an art. Thanks for your secrets...shhh😲

[@chrisczarnik3439]

Looks yummy

[@cindywilkinson1610]

Oooh now I really want some steak!!!

[@2nGeneva]

Big fan of Ribeye, but a good T-bone actually comes very close especially the meat near the bone! I use Redman's Hickory Smoked salt period. It's the best! I also cook mine in my Dreo air fryer. Nice video as usual.

[@patwiles330]

Thanks for sharing. I do my hamburgers in the air fryer too..

[@nicolasmith1460]

Fabulous. I just can’t decide on the ninja 15:1 or the turbo blaze. Any advice? Everyone seems to love both!!

[@Donna-sh7nt]

Hi Cathy, I have a Cuisinart air fryer oven. Can I use this recipe to cook steaks in it. I really hate to look all over youtube for recipes when you gave such great ones. Thanks, Donna

[@jeffreypinder9398]

New air fryer? I just got my recalled one replaced last year. The steaks looked great.

[@kowen3959]

Steak in the air fryer is excellent, tastes great and nice char. I use margarine with garlic, pepper, Lea & Perrins "wister sheer", parsley, salt, vegetable oil. Fantastic.

[@zinny999]

Margarine is the most toxic thing they ever put on the supermarket shelves. They are synthetic killer. More carcinogenic than cigarettes

[@lcashless1839]

Very informative video. But what about the?meater thermometer you champion several videos ago. Wouldn’t that show the internal temperature of the steak?

[@tudorcosmin-andrei4203]

Thanks for the tips, making a steak today in the new air fryer that you’re useing in the video as well.. greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@bigjohnson7415]

I personally love a good medium steak, yours looked perfect for me! My sister likes shoe leather for some reason, can't for the life of me get her to try medium! Go figure.

[@patpeters6331]

I have a friend who also cooks his meat to the shoe leather stage. Not an ounce of juice left in his steak or chops. His reasoning is he doesn't want to get mad cow disease. 😂 🐄

[@bigjohnson7415]

@@patpeters6331 I know. So when I cook steaks, I take mine off 5 minutes before her's. I just got my first air fryer and cooked burgers, juicy and pink in the middle, but she had to put her's back in. I used to be a medium well person until I "Undercooked" a steak and was amazed by it. Still can't do medium rare, but that's another story.👍

[@Slivings911]

Very helpful, thank you! Your son is so cute. 😊👍

[@DancerOfClouds]

Cooked my first Air-Fryer steak about a year ago. Ninja Foodie. Had I not put that steak in the air fryer, cooked it and then removed. I would have NOT believed it came out of that air fryer. Honestly, I simply could not believe how tender and juicy the steak was. 12 mins for start to finish.

[@dimples5040]

Hi new subbie here! Can you tell me where you get the induction stove that's bedside your air fryer? And what's the name please.

[@freekvanbuul5100]

For international reasons, it may be a tip to add Celsius temps also.

[@jetroar17]

I think I'll always prefer charcoal for steaks but this looks good for a rainy day

[@belindascountryliving]

I like basting my steaks whole they are cooking.i prefer pan frying Nice video

[@kendlefulton7429]

I really love your videos and I love you too

[@slowz4767]

Tried air fryed steak yesterday becuase we just got it. It was good but I still prefer it on the barbecue

[@jimsmalleimb7709]

Best way to season a steak: Use Club House brand "La Grille" Montreal steak spice. Nothing is better. Season the steak at least half an hour before cooking. Also, it's best to pan-sear the steak before putting it in the air fryer for the "Maillard reaction" to give you a good crust. Unfortunately, the air fryer's maximum temperature is only 400 degrees. The hotter the oven, the better it cooks. Best to cook for a short time at high temperatures than the reverse.

[@monazuniga6499]

Love your channel and Guy Fietti the chef calls worchestershire sauce wash your sister sauce. Lol

[@1winlock]

I use a Meater wireless temp probe. It transmits the my Corsori to my iphone and sets me know when to remove the steaks. I think any wireless temp probe would work, I jus happen to have a Meater probe.

[@MrsMarple82]

I’ve been trying to download your free tip sheet on temperatures etc but nothing happens. I’ve tried about 8 times now. Is it no longer available? Thanks

Chicago Steak Seasoning

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

It’s all up to the meat itself. On a frying pan sometimes it’s super good, other times it’s super bad. I do it the same way every time. After getting an air fryer it’s the same thing. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad 🤷

[@eunicecharters8611]

What is the best instant read meat thermometer? Looked on Amazon and there are so many..🤷‍♀️

[@okstate6833]

Want to put the icing on the cake when it comes to using your air fryer. Order a GrillGrate. Almost everything I cook in my air fryer is cooked on the grillgrate.

[@victortristani2052]

A steak on a charcoal (never gas) grill has no match. But if you live in an apartment with ridiculous rules that do not allow an outdoor BBQ grill, this would be a good way to go. I’ll have to try it.

[@bethjeans3780]

Cracks me up the people who say no, the steak can’t be good unless it’s done their way. They have The Only Way. I’ve made steak in the Cosori Dual Blaze and my husband and I were shocked at how delicious and juicy it’s been. We take the steps you do, but with different spices and don’t put butter on the steak - just not to our taste.

[@glasperle77]

i am so disappinted. I always wanted to have nice soft meat that "melts in your mouth" like people described. with the airfryer I managed to do it 2-3 times now (not as pinkish as here, since I would more vomit from it...) but even then- the texture is just not mine. It was super juicy and the taste was amazing, but to me I am so used to really firm meat where you clearly chew on the meat structure, these softer ones I really get sick from (texture wise). So I probably would overcook a steak anyway xD

[@bethjeans3780]

A lot depends on the quality of the meat. We tried steaks from a local organic butcher and it was amazing.

[@TheAmishElectrican]

Best steak ever and aur fryer don't belong in the same sentence IMO

Actually, "leaving it at room temp" is a cooking myth many people cling to. They have done science on this, and Kenji Lopez-Alt has busted many of these myths with Serious eats. Do a bit of googling, and reading for yourself. Dry brining is probably a better option.

[@CheckThisSack]

I've used this. For Really thick steaks...its absolutely made a difference. What works for some..might not work for others. Hard to have a solid rule unless EVERYONE cooks every step exactly the same.

[@annemareebotha]

My Airfryer does not have a pre heat section ?

[@empoweredcooks]

You can just turn it on for about 5 minutes at 400F/200C

[@p0331546]

If these are the best steaks you ever had, then you haven't had many steaks 😂. An air fryer is a convection oven, and the only time i use one for steaks is to it bring up to temp. 400f is way too low for a good crust to develop.

[@TexasScout]

Regarding Worcestershire sauce, a friend of mine came over one day and renamed it “watch your sister, shower sauce” and so it has been since then.

I've seen a lot of nonsense, but this is unbelievable! This is neither medium rare nor anything particularly well done! Medium is 130 - 134 Fahrenheit. It's a shame about the good steak! How can you show such crap on KZbin where people can see it and possibly imitate it???

[@sabrinahewick1224]

That is a bit rude!!!Actual she is right...medium should be 140-145, medium rare 130-135 or however you like it!!! I have tried these temps and they turn out great!!! I love mine Medium well I don't like seeing red in my meat at 150-155 maybe you should try it first before criticizing!! Thank you Cathy I love your video and thanks for taking the time to teach us!

[@conker3425]

Nah, I tried this years ago and it’s kinda awful and a waste of good steak. Nothing beats the traditional method. Room temp steak, very hot frying pan. Knorr beef stock pot, mix with vegetable oil and rub on both sides of the steak. Sear for 2 minutes on each side. Done

[@MrChrisdavie]

Why add toxic ingredients?

[@hugoanderkivi]

Use animal fat instead of toxic, industrial seed oils. They are good as lubricants and fuel, not for consumption.

[@MrChrisdavie]

@@hugoanderkivi correct. I wish more people knew about how dangerous most supermarket foods are…

[@hugoanderkivi]

@MrChrisdavie I get intense symptoms after consuming seed oils; severity depends on the dose. That's how I found out years ago that they are toxic. I experience symptoms even with a few grams of it. One time, I had intense stomach cramping eight hours after consuming a bag of chips (large amount of seed oils, as you know), one of the worst pains I've experienced to the point I couldn't move or stay still.

How to kill a steak 😢....

[@markdavich5829]

Short answer?... No. While technically yes, you can stick a steak in an air fryer but, if you put a steak ANYWHERE other than a woodfired grill, you may as well put it in the microwave... And don't even think about sous vide. If you want to keep the steak police away?... Smoke it first and then sear it.
