Ingredients:

  • 2 (12-oz) Ribeye or New York Strip Steaks, 1.5 inches thick
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1.5 tsp coarse Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Dry the steaks thoroughly. Use paper towels to pat the 2 (12 oz) Ribeyes until the surface feels tacky and completely dry. Note: Surface moisture is the enemy of a good sear; wet meat will steam rather than brown.
  2. Apply the oil. Rub the steaks lightly with 1 tbsp avocado oil on all sides, ensuring the edges are coated.
  3. Season with intention. In a small bowl, combine 1.5 tsp coarse Kosher salt, 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder. Season the steaks liberally on all sides, including the thick fat cap.
  4. Preheat the air fryer. Set the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and let it run empty for 5 minutes. Ensure the basket is hot before adding meat.
  5. Start the sear. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 6 minutes until the tops begin to sizzle and darken.
  6. The flip. Carefully flip the steaks using tongs to ensure even browning.
  7. Monitor the finish. Continue air frying for 4 to 7 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to check the center; pull the steaks at 130°F (54°C) for a perfect medium rare.
  8. Prepare the butter. While the steak cooks, mix 2 tbsp softened butter with 1 clove minced garlic and 1 tsp chopped rosemary.
  9. The soulful rest. Immediately move the steaks to a cutting board. Place a generous dollop of the garlic rosemary butter on each.
  10. Wait for it. Let the steaks rest for 7 to 10 minutes. Watch as the butter melts into the grain of the meat, creating a rich sauce.
