Sure, here’s a simple recipe for making air fryer burgers with onions:
Air Fryer Onion Burgers
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean to fat ratio works well)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make sure they are slightly larger than the size of your burger buns as they will shrink a bit during cooking.
- Place the burger patties in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each patty for even cooking.
- Cook the burgers in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your patties and the model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
- Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Toast the burger buns in the air fryer for a minute or two if desired.
- Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Air Fryer Steak with Onions
Ingredients:
- 2 steaks of your choice (such as ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip), about 1 inch thick
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: steak seasoning or herbs of your choice
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, and any additional seasoning or herbs you prefer. Let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

- Place the seasoned steaks and the onion mixture in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
- Cook the steaks in the air fryer for about 8-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness and the thickness of the steaks, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
- Check the internal temperature of the steaks with a meat thermometer – for medium-rare, it should be around 130-135°F (54-57°C), for medium, aim for 140-145°F (60-63°C), and for medium-well, aim for 150-155°F (66-68°C).
