Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (1 inch thick, about 1 lb each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Emeril Air Fryer 360 Steak Recipes
- Start by preheating your Emeril Air Fryer 360 to 400°F.
- While the air fryer is heating up, pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a better sear.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of each steak, ensuring an even coating.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the steaks in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Cook the steaks for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
- After cooking, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and serve the steaks, garnished with fresh parsley.
Expert Tips
For the best results, choose high-quality steaks with good marbling. This adds flavor and tenderness to your dish.
Always let your steak come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout.
If you prefer a crustier exterior, you can sear the steaks in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side before transferring them to the air fryer.
Variations
Feel free to customize this recipe by experimenting with different seasonings. For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mixture.
Alternatively, you can marinate the steaks for a few hours or overnight in your favorite marinade for added flavor.
Consider pairing this steak with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage Instructions
If you have leftover steak, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the air fryer at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
For longer storage, consider freezing the steaks. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, you can use different cuts such as sirloin, T-bone, or filet mignon. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steak.
