Air Fryer Steak with Garlic Butter
Description
This dish uses bone-in rib eye steaks seasoned plainly with salt, pepper, and olive oil before undergoing an air fryer cook at 400°F for six minutes per side to achieve medium doneness. The high heat of the air fryer enables even cooking and a slight crisp crust without needing a grill or pan.
While the steaks cook, a garlic herb butter is prepared by combining softened butter with minced garlic and fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley, or chives, which lends a fresh and aromatic richness when melted over the warm steaks.
After letting the steaks rest to retain juices, they are served with the garlic herb butter spooned over, optionally garnished with additional herbs. This straightforward preparation highlights the meat's flavor enhanced by the butter's creamy, herbaceous notes.

- salt to taste

- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
