There's nothing like a satisfyingly filling meal of steak and chips, especially on a chilly autumn day when you're in serious need of some slap-up comfort food, and there's more than one way to cook this classic dish. With the rise in energy costs, many people have looked towards alternative ways to rustle up their tried and trusted favourites, with the air fryer proving to be particularly popular.
Now a savvy foodie has shown how you can serve up an impressive-looking plate of steak and chips in your air fryer, with minimal effort required, hailing the results as 'absolutely delicious'.
Keen home cook Helen Westwood, who regularly shares foodie content under the TikTok username @welshfoodgirlie, recently revealed her go-to recipe for air-fried steak and chips and left followers thoroughly impressed.
First things first, Helen preheated her air fryer for three minutes, before tossing her chopped potato slices in a bowl with a decent helping of oil. She then added these to the air fryer basket for fifteen minutes, with the temperature set at 200C.
While these were cooking nicely, she coated her steaks with rapeseed oil and seasoned them with plenty of salt and pepper.
When there were still a few minutes to go, Helen gave the basket of chips a firm shake before popping them back in the fryer for the remaining six minutes. Once the full fifteen minutes were up, she whacked in the steaks and set the timer for another ten minutes, again at 200C, turning these over at the halfway point.
The resulting meal looked, in Helen's words, 'absolutely delicious'. She plated it up with a fresh salad and plenty of coleslaw before tucking in, and the steak looked just as juicy as anything you could whip up in the pan.
Many of Helen's followers are now keen to give the recipe a go for themselves, with many remarking on how 'perfectly' the 'banging' steak was cooked.
One person drooled: "Now this is something I never would have thought of to put in my air fryer. That's me gunna have a go at this!"
Another air fryer aficionado recommended: "Put some sliced onions with your chip, gives it a nice flavour."
