09 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
10 - 1/4 tsp lemon zest

→ Finishing Touches

11 - Salt and pepper, to taste
12 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Combine 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/4 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined and set aside for your Aromatic Garlic Herb Butter.
02 - Pat the 1 (1 1/2-pound) T-Bone steak dry with paper towels. Rub all sides with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season generously with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. This prepares your Quick Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter for optimal searing.
03 - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for at least 5 minutes. A properly preheated air fryer is essential to achieve a beautiful crust and even cooking for your Quick Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter.
04 - Carefully place the seasoned T-Bone steak in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 7-8 minutes for medium-rare. Flip the steak and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until your desired doneness is reached (see notes for temperature guide).
05 - Carefully remove the steak from the air fryer and transfer it to a cutting board. Immediately top the hot steak with the prepared Aromatic Garlic Herb Butter. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes. This is vital for a juicy Quick Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter.
06 - Slice the rested T-Bone steak against the grain. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Quick Air Fryer T-Bone Steak with Garlic Herb Butter!

# Notes:

01 - For different doneness, adjust cooking time: 12-14 minutes for rare (125-130°F), 15-17 minutes for medium (135-140°F), and 18-20 minutes for medium-well (145-150°F). Always use a meat thermometer.
02 - Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through to prevent overcooking.
03 - Feel free to customize the herb butter with other fresh herbs like rosemary or chives. For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based butter alternative.
04 - This steak pairs wonderfully with roasted asparagus, creamy mashed potatoes, or a simple garden salad for a complete meal.
