A simple and quick way to cook a juicy ribeye steak, ensuring a perfectly cooked steak with a lovely, crispy exterior. By using the air fryer, we ensure an easy and clean process that minimises cleanup and maximises flavour.
Place 2 pcs ribeye steak (about 200 g each) on the kitchen counter about 20–30 minutes before cooking, so they can come up to room temperature.
Season both sides of the steak generously with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper.
Lightly brush the steak with 1 tbsp olive oil on both sides.
Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C.(Preset it, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking)
Place the steak in the air fryer basket and air fry at 200 °C for about 10–12 minutes for medium, or adjust the time to your desired level of doneness.Turn the steak halfway through the cooking time.Core temperature (measured before resting): 52 °C rare, 55 °C medium-rare, 58–60 °C medium, 68–70 °C well done.Start the online kitchen timer here
Take the steak out of the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.This helps redistribute the juices in the meat.
Notes
- The cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of your steak and the specific model of your air fryer.- Use a kitchen thermometer to measure the internal temperature precisely.- For an extra smoky flavour, consider adding a little smoked paprika to the spice blend.
