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:
- 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.
- 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.
