Since I’m always interested in trying to make a good thing work better for me, I set out to try and speed up the reverse searing method. I just needed something to bake gently, but faster. Luckily, there is an appliance that does exactly that—the air fryer. Not only can you reverse sear with great success in your air fryer, but you’ll save time too.

Finding the right fan speed
The tough part for me was determining which fan speed would accelerate the baking portion without overdoing it. Air fryers are extremely effective and I didn’t want to overcook the steak right off the bat.
While each setting shaved some time off of the reverse searing method, I had the most success with the “air fry” setting.
How to reverse sear with an air fryer
Put the steak onto the air fryer’s grate and let it cook for 10 minutes for a medium-rare steak. My steak was 113°F at this point, with the goal of 128°F-ish after searing. I suggest checking the temperature of the steak at the halfway point to see how it’s coming along, and again at around the eight minute mark. Air fryers differ from brand to brand and your steak will cook differently depending on its size. If you’d like to cook your steak to a different level, check the target temperatures in the picture below.

All told, the air fryer reverse searing method should only take about 15 minutes. Decidedly an improvement from the regular oven’s 30 minutes. As a side bonus, cleaning the Instant Vortex grate is pretty damn effortless, and I hope your grate is too. Happy reverse searing, y’all.
