Description
A delicious and easy recipe for garlic butter steak cooked in an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme until well combined.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Cook the Steaks: Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil on both sides. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the desired doneness is reached (adjust time depending on thickness and preference).
- Add Garlic Butter: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer. Immediately top each steak with the prepared garlic butter while hot to allow it to melt.
- Rest and Serve: Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm for best flavor and tenderness.
Notes
- Steak Thickness: If the steaks are thicker than 1 inch, adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: Rare: 125°F (52°C), Medium Rare: 135°F (57°C), Medium: 145°F (63°C), Medium Well: 150°F (66°C).
- Butter Variation: Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the garlic butter for an extra zing.
- Resting: Allowing the steaks to rest helps redistribute juices, resulting in a juicier steak.
