Description
Achieve perfectly cooked ribeye steak in your air fryer every time! This recipe delivers a juicy, flavorful steak with a beautiful crust, all in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ribeye steak (1–1.5 inches thick, about 12–16 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a good sear.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using).
- Rub the mixture all over the steak, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the steak in the air fryer basket, ensuring it’s not overcrowded.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, 8-10 minutes for medium, or 10-12 minutes for medium-well. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your steak and your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-145°F for medium, 145-155°F for medium-well).
- Carefully remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
