Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust based on preference)
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried rosemary or Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Marinate the Steaks: Place the ribeye steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally to ensure the steaks are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Prepare for Cooking: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 15 minutes. This ensures even cooking throughout the steak.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat while the steaks rest.
- Cook the Steaks: Place the marinated ribeye steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness, such as 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve immediately for best flavor and tenderness.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your specific air fryer model.
- For an extra charred crust, you can finish the steaks with a quick sear in a hot cast iron skillet for 1-2 minutes per side after air frying.
- Adjust salt in the marinade according to your taste and dietary preferences.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak reaches a safe and preferred doneness.
