Description

This Marinated Air Fryer Ribeye Steak Recipe delivers a perfectly juicy and flavorful steak with minimal effort. The ribeye is marinated in a blend of brown sugar, spices, and Worcestershire sauce, then cooked in an air fryer to achieve a beautiful crust and tender interior in just minutes. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe yields two hearty servings of savory, melt-in-your-mouth steak garnished with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Marinade

  • 1 pound bone-in ribeye steak, 1 ½ inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, black pepper, kosher salt, Montreal steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until well mixed. This marinade will infuse the ribeye with a balanced blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Rub the marinade generously onto both sides of the ribeye steak. Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate and the steak to come closer to room temperature, which helps with even cooking.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: While the steak is marinating, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures the steak sears properly for a delicious crust.
  4. Air Fry the Ribeye: Place the ribeye steak in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Adjust time depending on desired doneness: 8 minutes for medium-rare, longer for medium or well done. The air fryer cooks the steak quickly, producing a juicy interior and crispy exterior without added oil.
  5. Add Butter and Rest: After cooking, immediately place the tablespoon of butter on top of the hot steak and let the steak rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the steak for added color and a fresh herbal note. Serve the steak alongside your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest before cooking and after cooking helps achieve even cooking and juiciness.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and thickness of the steak; use a meat thermometer to check for preferred doneness.
  • The Montreal steak seasoning can be substituted or combined with other spices to your liking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook one steak at a time for best results.
  • If you prefer, you can let the steak marinate longer in the fridge for deeper flavor, but bring it back to room temperature before air frying.
