Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ribeye steak 8 oz
  • Olive oil
  • ¼ + teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ + teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced

Instructions
 

  • Remove the steak from the fridge 15-20 minutes before you're planning to start cooking. While the steak is resting make the garlic butter by combining the softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl. Put the butter in the fridge until the steak is done.
  • Brush both sides of the steak with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes. 
  • Place the ribeye steak in the air fryer and cook it for 10+ minutes on 400 F (for medium-rare), flipping it after 5 minutes. Check the steak for your desired degree of doneness with a digital meat thermometer.- 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well. 
  • Remove the ribeye from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. One 8 oz ribeye steak serves 2 people, cut it in half and serve each 4 oz portion with 1 tablespoon of garlic butter, if you’re using it.

Notes

You can cook two 8 oz ribeye steaks at one time if you have a large air fryer.
It's perfectly fine to skip the garlic butter! Ribeye is amazing and tastes great with just a little salt and pepper.
This same method will work with other high-quality cuts of steak that are also bone-in 8 oz size and a similar thickness like New York steak. Lower quality cuts need to be marinated first.
