Ingredients
- Ribeye steaks
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- A1 sauce (hearty or original)
- Montreal steak seasoning
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Butter
How to Prepare
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for at least six minutes to ensure it’s nice and hot when the steak goes in.
- Let your steaks sit out for at least 20 minutes to come to room temperature. Brush both sides with a little extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Spread A1 sauce on a plate and add Montreal steak seasoning. Lay each steak on the plate, rubbing the sauce and seasoning on both sides.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes on one side.
- Flip the steaks over and cook for an additional 7 minutes at 400°F.
- Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This helps to lock in the juices.
- Add a slice of butter on top of each steak and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips
- Ensure steaks are at room temperature before cooking to avoid them becoming dry.
- Avoid using aerosol sprays in your air fryer to prevent damaging the coating.
- Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your steaks and your preferred level of doneness.
FAQs
Q: Can I use a different cut of steak? A: Yes, you can use other cuts like sirloin or filet mignon. Adjust the cooking times accordingly based on the thickness and your desired doneness.
Q: Do I need to flip the steaks halfway through cooking? A: Yes, flipping the steaks ensures even cooking on both sides.
Q: Can I marinate the steaks before cooking? A: Absolutely! Marinating can add extra flavor. Just be sure to pat the steaks dry before applying the olive oil and seasoning.
Q: How do I know when the steak is done? A: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F; for medium, 135-145°F. Adjust the time in the air fryer as needed.
