Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks 8oz
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or any high-smoke-point oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat dry the steaks using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Rub both sides of the steaks with avocado oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the steaks, gently pressing it into the meat to adhere.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the steaks in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, 8-10 minutes for medium, or 10-12 minutes for well-done, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
- Check the doneness of the steaks using a meat thermometer to ensure they reach your preferred level of doneness: Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C), Medium: 145°F (63°C), Well-done: 160°F (71°C)
- Once the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips.
