Delicious Air Fryer Beef Recipes

Sharing is caring!

  • Facebook

An air fryer is such a useful kitchen appliance, and helps get food on the the table faster. You probably know what a great option it is for frozen foods like the classic pizza rolls, french fries, and chicken nuggets, but it's also great for a traditional main dish!

These easy air fryer recipes have you covered no matter what kind of beef is in your fridge- ground beef, a roast, steaks? There's a recipe for it in this collection that is sure to include some of your new favorite beef recipes.

I do recommend using a temperature probe (my air fryer has one) or a meat thermometer. Different air fryers even at the same temperature can have different air flow and cook faster or slower than others. Particularly when it comes to food safety or not overcooking that perfect air fryer steak, you'll want to be able to check the internal temperature of your meat.
