Description

This Air Fryer Ribeye Steak with Garlic Butter is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a perfectly cooked steak with a rich, flavorful garlic butter topping. The air fryer cooks the steak to your desired doneness with a crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Enhanced by a savory garlic and parsley butter, this recipe is perfect for an easy, restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 boneless ribeye steaks (1 to 1.25 inches thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Optional

  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat it for 3–5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Steaks: Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness – 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the steaks cook, combine the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix well to create the garlic butter.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Once cooking is complete, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
  6. Serve: Top each steak with a generous spoonful of garlic butter. Serve immediately, optionally adding lemon wedges for a fresh citrus touch.

Notes

  • Allowing the steak to rest after cooking is essential to retain its juices and maximize tenderness.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences, and optionally add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Cooking times can vary depending on steak thickness and your specific air fryer model, so use a meat thermometer for best results.
