Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Season the Steaks: Rub the steaks with olive oil on both sides. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme or rosemary.
Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow for even cooking. Depending on the size of the air fryer, this may require cooking in batches.
Cook the Steaks: Cook the steaks for 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to the desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
