Air Fried Glazed Pork Loin Steak

These air-fried pork loin steaks are quick to prepare and packed with savoury-sweet flavour. A simple glaze of honey, mustard, soy, and garlic caramelises as the pork cooks, giving you crisp edges and tender slices.

Serve with crushed potatoes, green beans, or a crisp salad for a balanced meal. The method is straightforward, making this a reliable family dinner for busy evenings.

Method

12m13m25m
  1. In a bowl, whisk the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
  2. Pat the pork loin steaks dry, then rub with olive oil. Spoon over half the glaze and coat both sides well. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes while the air fryer preheats.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes. Arrange the pork steaks in a single layer in the basket, leaving space around each piece.
  4. Air fry for 6 minutes, flip, then brush with the remaining glaze.
  5. Cook for a further 5–7 minutes until the pork is browned and cooked through (internal temperature 63°C).
  6. Rest the pork for 3–5 minutes before serving so the juices settle. Spoon over any resting juices before plating.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil for coating
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic finely grated
  • 4 (about 600 g total) Pork loin steaks pat dry
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce

Notes

Use a probe thermometer for best results; pork is cooked when it reaches 63°C, then rests.
If your air fryer is compact, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and steaming.
For extra colour, brush with a little reserved glaze in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
