Ingredients
Scale
Steaks & Marinade
- 2 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
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, and dried rosemary or thyme if using. This mixture will infuse the ribeye steaks with a rich, tangy flavor.
- Marinate the Steaks: Place the ribeye steaks in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes. This ensures a hot environment for even cooking.
- Cook the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook the steaks for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to achieve medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes. This resting period allows juices to redistribute for a juicy steak. Slice and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking for even cooking results.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes to make a complete meal.
