What You'll Learn
Preheat the air fryer
Preheating your air fryer is an essential step in cooking a ribeye steak. While most air fryer recipes don't require preheating, it is necessary when cooking steak to achieve a nice sear on the outside of the meat. Preheat your air fryer for at least 3 minutes to ensure your ribeye steak gets that desirable crust. Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for the best results.
During the preheating process, you can prepare your ribeye steak. Start by bringing your steak to room temperature. Take it out of the fridge 15 to 30 minutes before cooking and pat it dry. This step is important because a room-temperature steak will cook more evenly and result in a better final texture.
Once your steak is at room temperature, season it generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also use your preferred steak seasoning or rub. A well-seasoned steak will enhance the flavour of your final dish.
After seasoning, you can prepare your air fryer basket. Spray it with avocado oil or another high-smoke-point oil to prevent sticking and add flavour. You can also add about a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the air fryer pan to prevent smoking during the cooking process.
By preheating your air fryer and following these preparatory steps, you'll be well on your way to cooking a delicious ribeye steak with a perfect sear.

Season the steak
Seasoning your steak is a crucial step in the cooking process. It not only adds flavour but can also help create a delicious crust. Firstly, you'll want to start with a room-temperature steak, so take it out of the fridge 15-30 minutes in advance. Then, pat it dry with a paper towel.
Now, it's time to season. For a classic approach, use salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Be generous and make sure to coat both sides of the steak evenly. You can also add other spices like rosemary, thyme, or chilli flakes to suit your taste preferences. If you're looking for a more complex flavour profile, consider using a steak rub. There are many options available, such as a coffee rub, a Mexican spice rub, or a herb-based rub. These rubs often contain a blend of spices and herbs, offering a more intricate flavour.
If you're feeling creative, you can even make your own steak rub by mixing various spices and herbs. For instance, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. Alternatively, for a more subtle flavour, opt for a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, and brown sugar. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend.
Finally, after seasoning, you can place the steak in the air fryer basket. Don't forget to preheat your air fryer for at least 3 minutes to ensure a nice sear on the outside of your steak.

Air-fry the steak
Air-frying a ribeye steak is a quick and easy way to get a juicy, tender, and flavourful steak. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you achieve the perfect air-fried steak:
First, ensure your steak is at room temperature. Take it out of the fridge 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook evenly. Once it has reached room temperature, pat the steak dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. You can also use your preferred steak seasoning.
Next, preheat your air fryer. Set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius and preheat for at least 3 minutes. This step is important as it helps the steak develop a nice sear. Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil or another high-smoke-point oil, and place the steak inside. You can lightly spray the top of the steak as well.
Now, you're ready to start cooking. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The total cooking time will depend on the thickness of your steak and your desired level of doneness. If you prefer your steak more well-done, simply increase the cooking time.
To get an accurate reading of the steak's doneness, use a digital instant-read meat thermometer. For a medium-rare steak, remove the steak from the air fryer when it reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature will continue to rise to about 135 degrees Fahrenheit as the steak rests.
Once it reaches the desired temperature, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest. Transfer the steak to a plate or cutting board and loosely tent it with foil. Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak.
Finally, serve your perfectly cooked air-fried ribeye. Top with a pat of butter and fresh herbs like parsley, and enjoy with your favourite side dishes.

Rest the steak
Resting the steak is an important step in the cooking process. Once your ribeye steak has reached the desired internal temperature, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a plate or cutting board. It is recommended to let the steak rest, loosely covered or tented with foil, for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the steak to continue cooking slightly, raising in temperature by about 2-3 degrees Celsius.
During the resting period, the steak's internal temperature will continue to rise, so it is important to remove it from the heat source before it reaches your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F, as it will increase to about 135°F while resting. This ensures that your steak is cooked to perfection and remains juicy and tender.
The resting time also provides an opportunity for the steak's fibers to relax, making the meat more tender and easier to slice. A good steak knife will help you cut against the grain, ensuring your ribeye is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Additionally, resting the steak gives you time to prepare any final touches to your dish. You can melt some butter and add minced garlic to the skillet, creating a delicious garlic butter to spoon over your steak. This step adds extra flavor and moisture to your ribeye.
Finally, after resting, your ribeye steak is ready to be sliced and served. Enjoy the juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked steak!

Serve the steak
So, you've cooked your ribeye in a Philips Air Fryer—now it's time to serve the steak! The first step is to let the steak rest. Transfer the steak to a plate or cutting board and loosely cover it with foil. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak.
While the steak is resting, you can prepare any side dishes to serve with it. Some classic sides that go well with steak include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, French fries, or a fresh side salad. Don't forget to also prepare any sauces or condiments you'd like to serve with the steak, such as a compound butter, béarnaise sauce, or a simple chimichurri.
Once the steak has rested, it's time to slice it. For the best presentation and eating experience, slice the steak against the grain into thin slices. This will ensure that the steak is tender and easy to chew. You can also opt to cut the steak into larger, thicker slices if you prefer a heartier bite.
Finally, plate the steak and any sides you've prepared. Drizzle any sauce over the steak or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy your perfectly cooked and delicious ribeye steak cooked in the convenience of your Philips Air Fryer!
