Ingredients

1 ribeye steak (about 1-inch thick)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Garlic powder (optional)

Onion powder (optional)

Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

  • Rub both sides of the ribeye steak with olive oil.

  • Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using).

  • Place the steak in the air fryer basket, ensuring it isn’t overcrowded.

  • Cook the steak for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. For rare, cook for 8 minutes, for medium-rare, 9 minutes, and for medium, 10 minutes.

  • Once done, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  • Optionally, top with fresh rosemary or thyme for added flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Variations: For a spicy kick, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. Marinate the ribeye steak for extra tenderness. For a richer flavor, add butter to the air fryer basket during the last minute of cooking.

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftover ribeye steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes or reheat on the stovetop.

  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked ribeye steak for up to 3 months. Reheat by following the same steps as when reheating leftover steak.
