Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 pound bone-in ribeye steak, 1 ½ inch thick
Marinade and Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Finishing
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, fresh cracked black pepper, kosher salt, Montreal steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly to create a marinade paste.
- Marinate the Steak: Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the ribeye steak. Allow the steak to marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure a perfect sear.
- Cook the Steak: Place the marinated ribeye steak in the air fryer basket. Cook for 9-11 minutes, flipping halfway through (about 4-5 minutes per side), until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium rare).
- Rest and Finish: Remove the steak from the air fryer and place it on a cutting board. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter and let the steak rest for 5 minutes; this allows juices to redistribute for a juicy steak.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top and serve immediately with your preferred sides.
Notes
- For best results, allow the steak to come to room temperature before marinating and cooking.
- Using a meat thermometer helps achieve precise doneness.
- Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and air fryer model.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking is essential for juicy, tender results.
- The Montreal steak seasoning adds a robust flavor but can be omitted if you prefer a more subtle taste.
