Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs ribeye steaks about 1.5 inches thick
- 1 tbsp olive oil melted butter works too
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Remove ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to take off the chill. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season aggressively on all sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This ensures the crust starts forming immediately.
- Place steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.
- Flip the steaks halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and a perfect crust on both sides.
- Check internal temperature: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Remove immediately when done.
- Let the steaks rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain to retain all juices.
