If you have money to burn, and want to experiment with a steak, go for it. Please, don't risk an expensive steak. Get the cheapest cut you can get, and I hope you like your steaks "well done."
Gordon Ramsey has done it. The man cover's his air fryer steaks with some kind of rub made with coffee grounds, and uses half-inch thick steaks. Seriously?
As a Texan, I just can't make myself do something like that to a good piece of meat. Just because you "can" do something, doesn't mean you "should" do it.

Why bake a steak?
Your not baking it. Your heating it all around like you would do in a pan. Baking takes longer then 5 minutes.

You can totally cook steak in your air fryer this Sunday. No preheat needed, just throw your steaks in at cooking temp.
Well, if you are going to try it then follow the instructions with those two recipes. They are both giving basically the same method. Other than, as you've noted, the timing.
I would totally preheat the Air Fryer first.
I think I would try the recipe that does the 2 min per side first. If that doesn't work out then the other recipe (which sounds weird to me) that does it much longer, might work.
What bothers me is that I don't think you will have the same colouring and taste from a good sear on the meat.

IIRC, what you British call sirloin is what we call NY Strip, which is a pretty good steak. What we call sirloin here is what I call dog food. The one recipe calls for a steak that is an inch thick, which is decent, and a lot thicker than what I've seen British chefs use. If you are going to use a convection oven, AKA and air fryer, you will need at least an inch-thick cut of beef, or by the time you get a nice crust, it is going to be well-done in the middle.
Again, I think an air fryer is the wrong tool for the job, like using a hammer to drive a screw into a piece of wood -- yeah, it'll work, but why would I do it?

I would not be cooking a nice cut of beef in an air fryer, but you do you…

I am open to hearing how it turned out! I don't own an air fryer but have a nephew-in-law that lives by his!
