Tips for making ribeye steak in the air fryer

Pat it Dry: Before seasoning, thoroughly pat your steak dry with paper towels. This promotes even browning and crisping on the exterior.
Season Wisely: Generously season your steak with salt and pepper. Additionally, explore other herbs and spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper for extra depth of flavor.
Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Aim for 130°F internal temperature for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
Oil (Optional): While air frying uses minimal oil, a light coating of high smoke point oil like avocado oil can enhance browning and add subtle flavor.
Preheating is Key: Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the steak. This ensures a hot environment for optimal searing.
Don’t Crowd the Basket: Leave space between your steaks in the basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Rest for Perfection: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes tented loosely with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.
Experiment with Flavors: Consider marinating your steak for extra flavor, or top it with compound butters like garlic herb or blue cheese for a decadent touch.
Adjust for Thickness: Be mindful of the steak’s thickness and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Thinner steaks may require less time to reach the desired doneness.
Consult Your Air Fryer: Cooking times and temperatures might vary slightly depending on the specific air fryer model. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal results.
