# Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.

Pat the ribeye steaks dry on both sides using paper towels. Coat evenly with olive oil and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket and spray the basket with olive oil nonstick spray to prevent sticking and reduce smoke.

Place one steak in the basket, ensuring space for air circulation. Air fry for 5 minutes at 400°F, then flip and continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium doneness. Repeat for the second steak.

Allow the steaks to rest covered for 5 to 10 minutes to let juices redistribute. Serve topped with garlic herb compound butter if desired.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
Adding water to the air fryer basket reduces smoke and helps steam the steaks for enhanced tenderness.
02 -
Steaks continue to cook as they rest, so remove slightly before desired internal temperature.
03 -
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
