How do I make the Air Fryer Ribeye Steak with Herbed Butter?

Step 1: Make the Herbed Butter

Start off by making the herbed butter, as it will need about 2 hours to chill in the refrigerator before using it. Finely chop the sage leaves and fresh thyme leaves. Then, mince up the fresh garlic. In a small mixing bowl, add the softened salted butter, freshly minced garlic, chopped sage and chopped thyme. Mix together until well combined. Place the herbed butter into a plastic wrap and roll into a log. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to chill.

Step 2: Prepare the ribeye steaks

Place the steaks on a large plate and drizzle on the avocado oil. Then, sprinkle the steaks with black pepper, salt and Italian herbs making sure they are well coated.

Step 3: Cook the steaks

Place the steak in the Air Fryer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until they reach desired degree of doneness. Make sure to turn steaks over with tongs after 4 minutes.

*Pro Tip-Use a meat thermometer to reach preferred degree of doneness for steaks: Rare = 125 F, Medium-rare = 135 F, Medium = 145 F, Medium-well = 155 F, Well-done 160 F

Step 4: Remove from air fryer and top with herbed butter

Transfer the steaks to a serving plate. Divide the herbed butter in half and place one half on each steak. Allow to rest for a few minutes, so butter and marinade can infuse steak. Then, serve and enjoy!

How do I serve the Air Fryer Steak?

This delicious ribeye steak can be served with the herbed butter all by itself. However, to make it a complete meal I like to prepare a Basil Cucumber Tomato Salad for a starter. Then, I make Roasted Air Fryer Red Potatoes as side dish with the steak. However, there are plenty of other fantastic side dishes that go well with this easy steak recipe.
