ULTIMATE AIR FRYER RIBEYE STEAK RECIPE :

A ribeye has great marbling and as such is more tender and better tasting than most other steaks. An air fryer takes these steaks to another level because they come out just about perfect and faster and easier to cook than any other way.

For many years I have done my steaks under the broiler. They come out great, but I have missed the outside texture of grilling. My son-in-law puts his in a caste iron skillet first and sears it, then finishes it by baking it.

I am happy with either, but I have found that a good cross between the two is my air fryer. It gives me more of the crust, than the broiler and is a lot less hassle than the caste iron skillet and oven method, with a lot less clean up.

Ribeye Steaks are my go to for an amazing dinner. I normally use my own rub, but this recipe is a good substitute and I will be offering my rub at a later date.

Air Fryer Rib Eye Steak

It is actually very easy to cook a rib eye steak in the air fryer! Bring the steak to room temperature before you cook it. This is true of most meats, but steak for sure. Salt & pepper both sides before air frying. Press the seasonings into the meat with your fingers (then wash them!). preheat your air fryer before adding the steak to it. Get it HOT! Flip it halfway through cook time, if you want (I had some big ones I couldn’t flip easily and they turned out great!) After cooking, remove the steak to a plate and let it rest for just a few minutes. This keeps it juicy. Use an instant read digital meat thermometer. You can’t always tell the internal temp just by looking.

130°-140° F for Medium-Rare
140°-150° F for Medium
150°-155° F for Medium-Well
160°+ F for Well-Done
*Your model of air fryer may give you different results.

Ingredients

1 8-16 oz Rib Eye Steak (1″ to 1.25″ thick)
½-1 tsp Kosher Salt
¾ tsp Pepper
½ tsp Garlic Powder optional
¾ tsp Low Sodium Steak Seasoning optional

Instructions

Season both sides of the steak with the spices. Then set aside to come up to room temperature. This ensures even cooking, and that it will cook in the times given.
Preheat the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes at 390° F. Make sure the air fryer basket is in there.
Quickly set the steak in the air fryer basket, and then quickly close the lid.
For a medium-rare result, I use this timing (you may want to cook for a little less time the first time to see how your air fryer cooks):
Cook a 1-inch thick 8 oz steak at 390° F for 8 minutes. Cook a 1.5-inch thick 16 oz steak for 12 minutes.*
Flip the steak over halfway through the cook time and check temperature so you can see if it is cooking faster or slower than anticipated. Then you can adjust timing if needed.
Thicker or thinner cuts of steak will require a time adjustment.
*Your model of air fryer may give you different results.
Take the temperature of the steak (see temperature chart for doneness in the notes below). Then move it to a plate, loosely tent it with foil, and let it rest for 5-8 minutes before you cut into it.
