This Air Fryer Ribeye Steak recipe delivers a perfectly cooked, juicy steak starting from frozen, making it a convenient and foolproof option. The steak is brushed with avocado oil and generously seasoned before being air fried at high heat to achieve a flavorful crust and tender interior. The resting step ensures maximum juiciness and optimal flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 (about 1 inch thick) frozen Ribeye steak

Seasoning

  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil as an alternative)
  • Generous amount of coarse salt or steak seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Start with a completely frozen ribeye steak to ensure it cooks evenly in the air fryer without thawing.
  2. Season the Steak: Brush both sides of the frozen steak evenly with avocado oil. Generously season both sides with coarse salt or your preferred steak seasoning, using about twice the normal amount to compensate for seasoning that may be lost during cooking.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and let it preheat fully. Preheating ensures optimal searing and even cooking of the steak.
  4. Cook the Steak: Place the seasoned steak in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 8-12 minutes on one side, then flip the steak and cook for an additional 8-12 minutes. For a 1-inch thick ribeye steak, 10 minutes per side generally achieves medium doneness. Adjust cooking time as needed for thickness and your preferred doneness.
  5. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest on a plate for a few minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it remains juicy and flavorful when sliced and served.

Notes

  • Using a frozen steak limits the chance of overcooking the exterior and promotes an evenly cooked interior when air frying.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the steak thickness and desired level of doneness.
  • Resting the steak after cooking is essential to maximize juiciness and enhance flavor.
  • Avocado oil is preferred for its higher smoke point, but olive oil works well as an alternative.
  • Coarse salt or steak seasoning helps create a flavorful crust on the steak.
