– 1 ribeye steak (approximately 1 inch thick)

– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
– Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., rosemary or thyme)
Cooking Air Fryer Ribeye Steak is both easy and efficient. Please follow these steps for the best results:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Steak: Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a perfect sear.
3. Season: Rub the steak with olive oil. Then, sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper generously on both sides.
4. Place in Air Fryer: Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steak in the air fryer basket, ensuring it lies flat.
5. Cook: Close the air fryer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking and to achieve a crust on both sides. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, enhancing flavor and tenderness.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
By following these simple steps, you’ll prepare an amazing Air Fryer Ribeye Steak that delivers exceptional flavor and tenderness with minimal fuss!
