    🥘 Ingredients

    All you need is a few basic ingredients for an incredibly tasty steak! For the best results, look for a steak that is a nice and red with plenty of marbling.

    Air fryer steak ingredients keeping it simple to let the quality beef flavor shine.
    • Ribeye - 8 ounce ribeye, or steak(s) of your choice.
    • Olive Oil - ½ a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
    • Steak Seasoning - ½ a tablespoon, see recipe or use your own.
    • Butter - 1 tablespoon (per steak).

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    These steps are super simple and always result in an incredible steak! Grab your air fryer, some tongs, and a few sheets of foil.

    1. Prep. Pat your 8 ounce ribeye steak (or whatever steak(s) you are using) dry with paper towels and coat it lightly with ½ a tablespoon of olive oil. (*See note.)
    2. Season. Season your steak with ½ a tablespoon of steak seasoning, making sure to press it firmly into the meat. *If not cooking immediately, let the steak sit out at room temperature for 45 minutes before air frying.
    3. Cook. Place your steak in the air fryer basket and cook at 390°F (199°C) for 4 minutes. Then flip your steak and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
    4. Rest. Once your steak is done, remove it from the air fryer and set on a cutting board or plate. Top your steak with 1 tablespoon of butter and tent foil loosely over the top. Allow your steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

    Any of your favorite steakhouse sides would make for an awesome steak dinner. A few of my favorites are creamed spinach, bacon wrapped asparagus, and baked sweet potatoes. Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • I made this recipe with 1 8-ounce ribeye, but you could easily fit 2 smaller steaks of your choice and the recipe will work. The ingredients on this list are PER STEAK, so if making more, be sure to double them.
    • If using 2 steaks, make sure there is room for the air to circulate around and between them. Don't over-crowd your air fryer!
    • If you are working with particularly thick steaks, you may need to add 1 minute per side. 
    • For the best results, set your steaks out ahead of time so they can come to room temperature before cooking. 
    • These directions are for a medium-rare steak. If you prefer your steak cooked more or less, follow these guidelines and check it with a meat thermometer- Rare: 125°F, Medium-Rare: 135°F, Medium: 145°F, Medium Well: 155°F, Well: 160°F
    • Storing: Steak will last for up to 4 days in the fridge when placed in a shallow, airtight container. To reheat, place in your air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before you dig in!
