Thick ribeye steaks cooked in an air fryer for juicy, tender results with simple seasoning and herb butter.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Steak
01 -
2 ribeye steaks, approximately 1 inch thick each
→ Seasoning
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 -
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
05 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
→ Additional
06 -
2 tablespoons water
07 -
Garlic herb compound butter, optional
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set air fryer to 400°F and preheat for 5 minutes.
02 -
Pat steaks dry on both sides with paper towels. Rub evenly with olive oil and season all over with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
03 -
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil nonstick spray. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the basket to prevent smoke and aid in moisture retention.
04 -
Place one steak in the basket, ensuring space for air circulation. Cook for 5 minutes at 400°F. Flip the steak and continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium doneness. Repeat with the second steak.
05 -
Remove steaks from the air fryer and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to redistribute juices. Serve topped with garlic herb compound butter if desired.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
To prevent overcooking, remove steaks slightly before desired temperature as they will continue to cook while resting.
02 -
Adding water to the air fryer basket reduces smoke caused by rendered fat and helps keep steaks moist.
03 -
Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and desired doneness using a reliable meat thermometer.
