Instructions
Preparation
- Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes.

- Drizzle olive oil over the steak and rub it evenly on both sides.
- Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
- Season both sides of the steak with the spice mix, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned ribeye steak in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for about 10 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness: 8-9 minutes for rare, 11-12 minutes for medium, and 14 minutes for well-done.
Serving

- Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For a gourmet touch, consider drizzling a homemade herb butter over your steak or serving with chimichurri sauce. Always let the steak rest for juicy results.
