Gordon Ramsay Air Fryer Steak

This juicy, tender Gordon Ramsay Air Fryer Steak is made with thick-cut ribeye, fresh garlic, and thyme, ready in just 15 minutes. The garlic herb butter melts over the hot beef as it rests, creating a rich sauce that drips down every slice.

Gordon Ramsay Air Fryer Steak Ingredients

• 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (about 1.5 inches thick, 12 oz)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 sprig fresh thyme, finely chopped

How To Make Gordon Ramsay Air Fryer Steak

1. Prep the Steak: Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Rub both sides with olive oil, coarse salt, and black pepper.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes for a strong initial sear.
3. Cook the Beef: Place the steak in the basket and cook for 5 minutes. Flip it over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare.
4. Make the Butter: While the meat cooks, mash the softened butter together with the minced garlic and chopped thyme in a small bowl.
5. Rest and Serve: Remove the steak to a warm plate and immediately top with the garlic herb butter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Recipe Tips

• Thickness matters: Choose a steak at least 1.5 inches thick so the outside browns before the inside overcooks.
• Preheat thoroughly: A hot air fryer basket mimics a hot pan, giving you a better crust on the meat.
• Check internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to pull the steak at 130°F (54°C) for a perfect medium-rare.

What To Serve With Air Fryer Steak?

Serve this rich Air Fryer Steak with buttery cut with crispy potato wedges or a creamy potato mash. A sharp side salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette helps cut through the heavy fats.

How To Store Leftovers Air Fryer Steak?

Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It is best eaten cold in salads or sandwiches, as reheating can quickly overcook the meat.

How To Reheat Leftovers Air Fryer Steak?

Air fryer method: Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F). Place the steak inside and heat for 3–5 minutes until just warm. This keeps the outside slightly crisp while the inside stays juicy.

Pan method: Heat a pan on medium-low, add a small amount of butter or oil, then warm the steak for 2–4 minutes, flipping once. This helps keep the steak tender and adds extra flavor.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of meat? Yes, New York strip or sirloin work brilliantly. Just adjust the cooking time slightly if they are thinner cuts.

Do I have to flip the steak in an air fryer? Yes, flipping halfway ensures both sides get a decent crust and cook evenly.

Why did my air fryer smoke? Excess fat dripping into the hot basket can cause smoke. Adding a tablespoon of water to the drawer below the basket prevents this.
