Ingredients

Steak

2 ribeye or NY strip steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick, 10-12 oz each)

1 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning

2 tsp coarse salt

1 tsp coarse black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

Finish

2 tbsp butter

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 cloves garlic, smashed

Equipment

Steps

1
Pull steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off.
2
Pat completely dry. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
3
Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Flip and cook 5-7 more minutes: 6 min for medium-rare (130°F), 7 min for medium (140°F).
4
Top each steak with a pat of butter, rosemary, and smashed garlic. Rest 5 minutes — this is non-negotiable.
5
Slice against the grain and serve.

💡

Tip: A meat thermometer is the only way to guarantee doneness. Pull steaks 5°F below target temp — they continue cooking during the rest. Dry surface = better crust.
