If not, crack on. 6 - Place the pork steaks into the air fryer basket in a single layer. 7 - Air fry at 200°C for 6 minutes. 8 - Turn the steaks and cook for another 6–8 minutes until beautifully coloured and cooked through. 9 - For extra smoky crust, blast for a final 2 minutes at 205°C. 10 - Rest the pork for 2–3 minutes before serving. 11 - Finish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with chips, vegetables, or whatever happens to be nearby.
