Simply tear the stale bread or crackers into smaller bits then put them in your blender or food processor for a couple of minutes or until they reach the consistency you want.

Then bake them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350F stirring occasionally, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

By changing up the seasonings, you can change up the flavor of your air fryer crumbed steak to suit your taste. This recipe calls for a few simple yet flavorful ingredients to season your crumbed steak, but there are many other kinds of herbs and spices you can use to suit your personal tastes.

Tips

  • Once the crumbed steak is done cooking, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for a more flavorful steak.
  • Slice the rested steak against the grain. This helps to tenderize the meat and makes it easier to chew.

Creamy mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that pairs well with crumbed steaks. Add some corn on the cob or roasted veg for a perfect side dish that complements the flavors and textures already on the plate.

FAQs

Can I use frozen crumbed steak in the air fryer?

It is best to thaw crumbed steak completely before air frying. This helps to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't become overcooked on the outside while still being frozen on the inside.

How do I know when the crumbed steak is cooked?

The internal temperature of the crumbed steak should reach 145F for medium-rare or 160F for medium. You can use a meat thermometer to check.

Can I use a different type of coating for the steak?

Yes, you can use different types of coatings such as panko breadcrumbs or seasoned flour. Just make sure that the coating has properly adhered to the steak before air frying.

You can do this by pressing the crumb mixture onto the steak firmly with your hands. You can also spray a light coating of oil on the crumbed steak before air frying to help the coating adhere better.

Can I cook more than one piece of crumbed steak at a time in the air fryer?

Depending on the size of your steaks and the size of your air fryer, you may be able to cook multiple pieces of crumbed steak at a time. However, to avoid soggy, unevenly cooked crumb steaks make sure you don't overcrowd the air fryer basket.
