Easy Air Fryer Steak

What You’ll Need
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
How to Make It
Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 400°F and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Cook the Steaks
Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, depending on your preferred doneness.
Add Butter and Finish
Once done, immediately top each steak with a tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Let them rest for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute.
Serve and Enjoy
Slice against the grain if desired and serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
