These boneless Air Fryer Lamb Leg Steaks are a quick, easy, and seriously tasty alternative to beef steak. Lamb leg is often overlooked as a fast-cooking cut, but it’s packed with flavour and perfect for a speedy meal.
If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Thoroughly dry 2 Boneless Lamb Leg Steaks.
Drizzle over 1 tbsp Oil and 1½ tsp Seasoning and toss to thoroughly coat the lamb.
Place the lamb steaks into the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate.
Air fry at 200c/390f for: 8 minutes for medium-rare - 10 minutes for medium - 12 minutes for well done.
If you want to turn them midway through cooking, you can do - I don't need to using the rack in my air fryer.
Check the lamb is cooked to your liking. If you prefer it more cooked, put it back in for 2 minutes at a time.
Allow to rest for at least 3 to 4 minutes before tucking in. Spoon over juices that have collected in the bottom of the air fryer for extra flavour.

Notes
Oil - Choose your oil to match your flavouring. For example use garlic, salt and rosemary with olive oil or for a more neutral flavour, sea salt and black pepper with vegetable oil.
Seasoning - Choose any seasoning mix, spices or dried/fresh herbs. Make sure that salt is included in the mix. You can also add a little citrus juice.
I used vegetable oil with a 2:1 mix of garlic salt and paprika.
The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit 2 300g/11oz leg steaks in the basket at a time. This gives just enough room to allow air to circulate.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
