Air Fryer Ribeye Steak
Description
This recipe involves seasoning about 1-inch thick boneless ribeye steaks with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. The air fryer is preheated to 390°F, then the seasoned steaks are cooked in the basket for 9 to 11 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness. Medium rare is typically reached at 135°F internal temperature.
The air fryer cooking provides an even heat that yields a seared outside and tender interior steak without additional fats. Resting for 5 minutes after cooking allows juices to redistribute, enhancing moisture and flavor.
This straightforward approach makes ribeye steaks accessible without stovetop or grill use. The final steak can be served plain or topped with butter, fresh herbs, or steak sauce according to preference.
Cook times vary with air fryer model and steak thickness; using a meat thermometer ensures accurate doneness. Leftover steak can be stored refrigerated for up to four days.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steak about 1 inch thick, plural
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- First, preheat air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season both sides of steaks with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Place steaks in air fryer basket.
- Once air fryer is preheated, place basket in air fryer.

- Use meat thermometer to test internal temperature. A medium rare steak is about 135 degrees Fahrenheit internally. See blog post above for specific cooking times and temperatures.
- Finally, remove from heat. Allow steak to sit for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Then, top with sliced butter, herbs, or steak sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use boneless ribeye steaks about 1 inch thick for even cooking.
- Cooking times vary; use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.
- Rest steaks for 5 minutes post-cooking to retain juices.
- Adjust cooking time for desired doneness: rare ~8 min, medium rare ~9 min, medium ~10 min, medium well ~11 min, well done 12+ min.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
