Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) 1-inch thick ribeye steak (or other nicely marbled steak)
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Instructions
- Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes prior to cooking. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
- Rub the steak with olive oil and season it on both sides generously with salt and pepper. Place the steak in the middle of the air fryer basket and cook until it reaches your desired doneness. For a 1-inch steak, this should be about 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes for medium, and 12 to 14 minutes for medium-well.
- While the steak is cooking, in a small bowl, using a fork, combine the butter, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and top it with the compound butter, allowing the butter to melt over the warm steak. Let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the steak whole or sliced.
