Notes
For those who prefer their steak on the rarer side while still achieving crispy bacon:
- Partially cook the bacon: Precook the bacon partially either in the microwave or on the stovetop until it's slightly cooked but still flexible.
- Wrap the partially cooked bacon around the steak: Once the bacon is partially cooked, wrap it around the steak before air frying or baking. This allows both the steak and bacon to finish cooking together.
- Adjust cooking times: Be mindful of cooking times to ensure the bacon reaches desired crispiness while the steak remains cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Thinner slices of bacon or pre-cooking the bacon to achieve crispiness without overcooking the steak may be necessary.
