Description
This air fryer ribeye steak recipe delivers a perfectly cooked, juicy steak with minimal effort and in just 15 minutes. Using an air fryer ensures even cooking and a deliciously seared exterior, making it ideal for a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Steak
- 1 ribeye steak (about 1-inch thick)
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking, ensuring it reaches the ideal temperature for searing the steak.
- Prepare the Steak: Place the ribeye steak on a large plate or tray and drizzle with avocado oil. Gently rub the oil on both sides to coat evenly, which helps in browning and flavor absorption.
- Season the Steak: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over both sides of the steak. Rub these seasonings in to enhance flavor throughout the meat.
- Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side to achieve a medium-rare finish.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and air fryer model.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if you prefer your steak more or less done.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial for juiciness and flavor retention.
- You can substitute avocado oil with other high smoke point oils like canola or grapeseed oil.
