Air Fryer Ribeye Steak Recipe
Description
The Air Fryer Ribeye Steak recipe starts with patting the steak dry to remove moisture, which helps produce a better sear. Brushing olive oil on both sides adds flavor and aids in crisping the outside. The seasoning mixture includes salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning for a balanced savory profile. After pressing the spice mix onto the steak, it is rested in the fridge for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the meat and letting the steak come closer to room temperature for more even cooking.
Preheating the air fryer to 400°F prepares the cooking environment to quickly sear the steak. The high heat in the air fryer cooks the ribeye evenly while creating a nicely browned exterior without overcooking the interior. This technique yields a juicy, tender steak with a crusty outside in a convenient way that requires minimal attention.
Use the provided doneness temperature guidelines to achieve your preferred level of cooking: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well. Checking the internal temperature ensures the steak is cooked to your liking. This recipe is suitable for a quick, flavorful steak dinner without needing a grill or stovetop sear.
Ingredients
- 2 ounce ribeye steak 1 inch thick, boneless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step ensures a better sear when cooking.
- Brush both steaks with olive oil, coating both sides evenly. This enhances flavor and aids in the browning of the steak's exterior.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Press this blend onto both sides of each steak, ensuring a generous and even coating. For optimal flavor, press the seasoning into the meat slightly.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the fridge for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld, and the meat to absorb the spices. If you like, cover the steaks with plastic wrap to prevent surface dryness.
- While the steaks are resting, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature on the counter during this time for more even cooking.
- Carefully place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook the ribeyes for a cooking time of 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickness of your steaks will determine how fast they cook. See the Notes section below in the recipe card.
- Once each of the air-fried ribeyes reaches your desired level of doneness, remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Elevate your juicy steak by pairing it with a pat of butter and delightful side dishes such as roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, steak sauce, or a crisp garden salad.
Notes
- Pat steaks dry to help develop a better sear and crust during cooking.
- Rest seasoned steaks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow flavors to permeate and prevent dryness.
- Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking for more even doneness.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm steak reaches desired internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F medium, 150°F medium-well.
