Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub the steaks with olive oil and then generously coat them with the spice mixture, ensuring an even covering on all sides.
- Place in the Air Fryer: Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. If your air fryer is small, you might need to cook the steaks one at a time.
- Air Fry the Steaks: Cook the steaks in the preheated air fryer for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level (145°F/63°C for medium-rare, 160°F/71°C for medium).
- Resting Time: Once done, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak.
- Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into ½ inch slices. Serve immediately, and enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer steak!
Notes
- Experiment with different spice blends to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure your steaks are at room temperature before air frying for more even cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your steaks and your desired level of doneness.
