Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 strip steaks (each about 5 to 6 oz)
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base
2 tsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base
1 Tbsp crushed mixed peppercorns
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, divided

Directions

  • 1

    Pat steaks dry with paper towel.

  • 2

    In large bowl, whisk together oil, Roasted Beef Base and peppercorns. Toss steaks with oil mixture. Marinade in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  • 3

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F according to manufacturer’s instructions. In batches and discarding marinade, arrange steaks in greased basket of air fryer and cook, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes or until instant-read thermometer registers 130°F to 135°F when inserted into thickest part of steak for medium-rare. (Alternatively, cook to preferred doneness.) Let rest, covered loosely with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and 2 tbsp chives until blended. Transfer to small serving bowl.

  • 5

    Serve steaks with aioli. Garnish with remaining chives.

Tip: Substitute mixed peppercorns with crushed black peppercorns. Crush peppercorns in pepper grinder set to coarse grind or in mortar and pestle, or use the bottom of a small skillet or saucepan to crush them on a cutting board.
