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.
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.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
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
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.
Serving:
Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
Top with compound butter for added flavor (optional).
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.
