Air-frying steaks in your air fryer is quite simple. These unquestionably compare favorably to grilled steak. The rib-eyes can be marinated the night before you plan to prepare them in the morning before you leave for work.

RUB THE STEAK WITH A FRESH CUT GARLIN CLOVE. CHOP GARLIC CLOVE AND SAUTE IN BUTTER WIIH FRSH SLICED MUSHROOMS SAUTE UNTIL MUSHROOMS ARE TENDER AND JUICES HAVE MELDED TOGETHER
I was a bit hesitant about putting the rib-eyes in the air fryer, but they turned out great. My husband and kids loved the steaks. The side dish was green beans and slivered almonds. I am saving this easy recipe. Thank you!
I made it, and it tasted good, but that’s to the credit of the meat, not the method. You can get anything cooked in an air fryer, but that doesn’t mean it will be cooked properly. Even at the highest setting, an air fryer just can’t get hot enough to properly sear a steak; it heats up way too gradually, resulting in steamed beef (as seen in the lackluster photos.) Please don’t do this to a nice cut like a rib-eye.
My first thought when air frying steaks was it’s going to be rubbery. It was not at all. I have a Power XL and the 7 + 7 was too long for my 1 1/2 inch rib eye so I will cut it to 6 + 6. Also, I have a rack that lifts the food about an inch from the bottom of the basket which I think helped. I was happy to see that the fat ended up browned and super crispy!
I was thrilled with the air fryer rib-eye steak! It was just like I like my steak. Easy and delicious!
Great flavor !!!
When you live in North Dakota the outdoor grilling season is very short, so I wanted to try cooking steak indoors that was fast and easy. I don’t care for pan fried steak and don’t have a broiler. So to the internet and air fryer I go. The only change I made was to add 1 tsp minced garlic to the marinade. I marinated the steaks for 2 hrs then cooked for about 11 minutes per side. (We like steak medium well), they came out juicy, tender and flavorful. Yum! In the summer I’ll use this recipe to grill my steaks! It’s a keeper!
It was my first time making something with rib eye steak and it was amazing will definitely make again.
Really comes out great. Just give it a nice sear after removing from the air fryer and then let is marble
use personal marinade and reduce time perfect steak.
Very good. The ready in 2 h 25m is wrong. It’s ready in about 20 or 30. Good taste for sure.
Ok so I’m new to air frying, just bought one a few months ago. All the recipes I found for ribeye steaks were for grilling, only grilling in November in Idaho isn’t all that feasible so when I found this method, I decided to give it a try. The author was vague as to which pan to use. My air fryer came with three options; a slatted grill type, basket and a solid pan. After much consideration, I decided to use the pan so the steaks would cook in their juices. Also the author assumes we all have steak seasoning on hand, which I did not so I made my own. Mix in a small cup 1.5 tsp salt 1.5 tsp pepper 1.5 tsp garlic powder half tsp paprika half tsp onion powder quarter tsp rosemary quarter tsp thyme. Then I spooned out the 4 tsp and added to oil and soy sauce in a gallon zip lock bag. Added steaks. Squeeze out air. Put flat in fridge. Again, the author was vague but I know how to cook and meat should never be cooked from a cold state so I marinated the steaks for 2 hours in the fridge, turning every hour to mix. Then I took them out and let them come to room temp on the counter for another 4-6 hours. Super good!
I made it and it was perfect. I am not eating soy, so I substituted balsamic vinegar (half). Otherwise, cooked per instructions.
My husband was so upset I was putting our rib eyes in the air fryer…until they came out! He was amazed. I used my own seasonings. The timing on this is perfect! When it is just the two of us we will prob never grill our steak again.
Fine for the winter months when you can’t grill. Steak did turn out nice and pink and juicy but the texture was different than with grilling.
Made as written and this turned out pretty good. It was too salty though and I like salt. Grilling is still the way to go in my opinion but if weather doesn’t permit, this is a great stand-by method.
