π Quick & Easy Steak Perfection
Cuisine: American πΊπΈ
Prep Time: 5 minutes β³
Cook Time: 20 minutes π₯
π Ingredients
- 1 ribeye steak (about 1-inch thick), frozen π₯Ά
- 1/2 tablespoon oil (we love avocado oil π₯)
- Coarse salt or your favorite steak seasoning π§π₯
π¨βπ³ Instructions
1οΈβ£ Start with a frozen steak! Yep, you read that right. Cooking from frozen helps it cook evenly and stay super juicy. π₯©π¦
2οΈβ£ Brush both sides with olive oil (or avocado oil). Then, generously season with coarse salt or your go-to steak seasoning. Use double the seasoning since some will fall off during cooking. π
3οΈβ£ Preheat your air fryer to 400Β°F. π 4οΈβ£ Place the steak in the air fryer and cook 8-12 minutes per side. For a 1-inch ribeye, about 10 minutes per side should get you a perfect medium doneness. π₯ 5οΈβ£ Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to lock in the juices. π½οΈ
π₯ Pro Tips for the Perfect Steak
β Check Temperature! Use a meat thermometer for accuracy:
- 130Β°F = Medium-Rare π₯©β€οΈ
- 140Β°F = Medium π₯©π
- 150Β°F = Medium-Well π₯©π
β Rest Your Steak! Letting it rest for at least 5 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender and flavorful. π€€
β Use Coarse Salt! Table salt wonβt give you the same flavor boost. Kosher salt or coarse sea salt helps create that delicious crust. ππ§
