Instructions Checklist
  • Mix butter, herbs, shallot, lemon zest and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Place the butter mixture in a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Twist the ends of the wrap together to seal; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Sprinkle salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper onto both sides of steak. Arrange the steak pieces in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 130°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes (the internal temperature will increase to 135°F, which is medium-rare). Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the herb butter.

To make ahead

Refrigerate butter (Step 2) for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
