Air Fryer Ribeye Steak Recipe

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.
