Air-Fryer Spiced Steaks with Cherry Sauce

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine cherries and wine; set aside. In a shallow dish, combine pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, coffee, salt, cinnamon, cumin and mustard. Add steaks, 1 at a time, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. In a small skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add broth and thyme. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in cream; bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, preheat air fryer to 375°. In batches, arrange steaks on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 3-6 minutes on each side.
4. Stir reserved cherry mixture into cream sauce; serve with steaks. If desired, sprinkle with blue cheese.
