    If there's one thing I keep coming back to when it comes to my air fryer, it's using it to cook steak. I don't think I've ever cooked it on the stove since I created that first Air Fryer Rib Eye recipe! By now, I cook all types of steak (like flank steak, roast beef and steak bites) in it - even if it's frozen.
