Air Fryer Ribeye Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish
  • Optional: compound butter for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:
  • Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  1. Seasoning:
  • Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Evenly coat both sides of the steaks with the seasoning mixture.
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  1. Cooking:
  • Place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
  • Cook the steaks at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness:
    • Rare: 8-10 minutes
    • Medium: 12-14 minutes
    • Well Done: 14-16 minutes
  1. Resting:
  • Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  1. Serving:
  • Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
  • Top with compound butter for added flavor (optional).
  1. Enjoy:
  • Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
  • Rare: 125°F (52°C)
  • Medium Rare: 135°F (57°C)
  • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
  • Medium Well: 150°F (66°C)
  • Well Done: 160°F (71°C)
  • For a more robust flavor, marinate the steaks in the seasoning and olive oil for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
