Air Fryer Ribeye Steak with Herbed Butter

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:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. 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.
3. Pat dry the ribeye steaks with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps with browning.
4. Rub each steak with olive oil, making sure to coat both sides. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
5. Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, you can cook them in batches.
6. 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.
7. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. 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.
9. Serve the air fryer ribeye steaks with herbed butter alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
