Scale
Steak and Marinade Ingredients
- 1 pound bone-in ribeye steak, 1 ½ inch thick
- 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 well to create a thick marinade that will evenly coat the steak.
- Marinate the steak: Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade mixture all over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. For deeper flavor, marinate up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes. This ensures a nice sear and even cooking on the steak.
- Cook the steak: Place the marinated ribeye steak in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare doneness, flipping the steak halfway through the cooking time for even browning. Adjust cooking time slightly for desired doneness.
- Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the air fryer and place it on a cutting board. Top with the tablespoon of butter and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak tender and juicy.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the rested steak for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after cooking is crucial to keep it juicy.
- Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model and preferred doneness.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder or smoked paprika to the marinade.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
