Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  • Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels.
  • Season both sides of the steaks evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Rub the softened tablespoon of butter over both sides of each steak.
  • Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for a total of 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking.
  • Cook to your preferred doneness: about 12 minutes for medium-rare (internal 135°F), longer as needed to reach 145°F for medium, 155°F for medium-well, or 165°F for well done.
  • Remove the steaks and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Paper Towels
  • small bowl
  • Tongs

Notes

  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Let steaks rest to allow juices to redistribute.
  • Softened butter spreads more easily for even coverage.
