Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 ribeye steaks (1 to 1 1/4 inches thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature: Let the ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking throughout the meat.
  2. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to prepare for a searing, crispy finish.
  3. Season the steaks: Rub both sides of each steak evenly with olive oil. Then season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the beef’s natural flavors.
  4. Cook the steaks: Place the steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness—130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  5. Prepare garlic butter: While the steaks cook, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley to make a flavorful topping.
  6. Rest the steaks: Remove steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute for tender, juicy results.
  7. Serve: Top each steak with a spoonful of the garlic butter just before serving for added richness and aroma.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on steak thickness and the model of your air fryer, so use a meat thermometer for best results.
  • For extra flavor, consider marinating the steaks beforehand or adding your favorite steak seasoning.
  • Allowing the steaks to rest after cooking is crucial for juicy, tender meat.
