Instructions
Preparation
Prepare the Blue Cheese Garlic Butter: In a mixing bowl, blend softened salted grass-fed butter, crumbled blue cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a dash of cayenne. Shape the mixture into a log and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat Air Fryer: Turn on your air fryer, setting it to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial for achieving an even, delightful sear on your steaks.
Season the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season them on all sides with fine sea salt, fresh black pepper, and granulated garlic for the best flavor experience.
Prepare for Air Frying: Give your seasoned steaks a good spray of avocado oil, ensuring each side is well coated.
Air Fry Steaks: Place the steaks in the basket of the air fryer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Cook for 11 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve: Once cooked, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes. Top with blue cheese garlic butter and serve.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle extra garlic butter over the steaks just before serving for an extra flavor boost.
