Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 350g ribeye steaks
- butter ((to preference, typically a small pat for each steak))
- fresh thyme sprigs
- maldon salt (to taste)
- freshly ground pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Allow the steaks to come to room temperature, which can help them cook more evenly. This usually takes about 30 minutes outside the fridge.
- 2
Generously season both sides of each steak with maldon salt and freshly ground pepper. This not only enhances the flavour but also aids in creating a wonderful crust on the steak's exterior.
- 3
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Ensure the basket is clean and free from any residue to prevent sticking.
- 4
Place the ribeye steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's some space between them for even cooking. Top each steak with a knob of butter and a couple of thyme sprigs.
- 5
Air fry the steaks for 10-12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking process (around the 5-6 minute mark), open the air fryer and carefully flip each steak to ensure even cooking on both sides. Close the air fryer and continue cooking.

Once the steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a plate or cutting board. Let them rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a moist and flavourful bite.
