I cooked a ribeye in the air fryer, and it turned out better than I’m comfortable admitting. 🥩😳
I seasoned it with salt, pepper, and garlic, cooked it at 400°F, then flipped it halfway through. After resting for 10 minutes with herb butter, the center landed around 130°F and the fat was surprisingly well rendered.
It didn’t have the exact same crust as cast iron, but it was juicy, evenly cooked, and required almost no cleanup. Is air-fryer steak a legitimate method, or should ribeye only touch a grill or hot skillet?
