Air fryers are a convenient way to cook various foods, including steak. Here’s a recipe for air fryer ribeye steak with herbed butter:
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Herbed Butter:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the herbed butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated. Set aside.
- Pat dry the ribeye steaks with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps with browning.
- Rub each steak with olive oil, making sure to coat both sides. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, you can cook them in batches.
- Cook the steaks in the preheated air fryer for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare doneness. You can adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness and the thickness of the steaks. For medium, cook for 10-12 minutes, and for well-done, cook for 12-15 minutes. Remember to flip the steaks halfway through the cooking process for even cooking.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the steaks are resting, add a dollop of the herbed butter on top of each steak. Allow the butter to melt and infuse the steak with its flavors.
- Serve the air fryer ribeye steaks with herbed butter alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer ribeye steak with herbed butter!
