🌡️How to check if meat is cooked properly

The best way to check if the beef is cooked to your desired “doneness” is with a thermometer. All you have to do is insert a meat thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the meat to check the internal temperature. Here is a temperature guide for steak:

Rare: Cool, red middle. 52°C/125°F.
Medium-rare: Warm, red middle. 57°C/135°F.
Medium: Warm, pink middle. 63°C/145°F.
Medium-well: Slightly pink middle. 66°C/150°F.
Well done: Little or no pink middle. 71°C/160°F.

When it comes to beef mince, however, it is generally advised to cook it until it is well-done. Undercooked mince can contain harmful bacteria which can make you ill with food poisoning.

🫙Tips for Storing & Reheating Leftovers

Allow the food to cool to room temperature.
Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge.
Consume as soon as possible, within 4 days.
Reheat using the microwave or air fryer until the food is piping hot.
If you want to reheat steak, check out this post to avoid overcooking it.
Freeze leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw before reheating.

🪄More Notes & Tips

Rest: Always allow steak and roasts to rest after taking them out of the air fryer basket. This helps to lock in the moisture making the beef extra juicy.
Extra flavor: If you’re looking to add a little extra flavor to steak, try a little soy sauce or steak seasoning. You don’t need much to make steak great.
