Juicy, perfectly seared, and ready in 15 mins—no smoke, no guesswork, just steakhouse results at home.
🥩 Ingredients
-
1 ribeye steak (1–1.5″ thick, room temp)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp kosher salt
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
2 tbsp garlic herb butter (recipe below)
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep steak: Pat dry, rub with oil, then season generously.
2️⃣ Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 mins.
3️⃣ Cook: Place steak in basket (no overlap). Air fry:
-
6-7 mins per side for medium-rare (135°F / 57°C).
-
7-8 mins per side for medium (145°F / 63°C).
(Flip halfway! Thinner steaks cook faster.)
4️⃣ Rest 5 mins under foil. Top with garlic herb butter (it’ll melt into heaven).

Mix 2 tbsp softened butter + 1 minced garlic clove + 1 tbsp chopped parsley + pinch of salt.
💡 Pro Tips

For crust: Pat steak extra dry before oiling.
