  • 700g ribeye steak (13mm thick)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Optional: basting sauce or garlic butter
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for finishing
  1. Prepare the steak:
    Bring the ribeye to room temperature. Pat completely dry using paper towel, then rub with olive oil.
    Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Slow-cook in the air fryer:
    Place the steak directly into the Air Fryer (no preheating needed).
    Set to 82°C for 50 minutes.
    If your steak is thinner or you prefer medium-rare, reduce the time to 40 minutes.
    Once done, remove from the air fryer.
    (Tip: This step can be done ahead of time.)
  3. Sear for crust:
    Heat a pan—or use the Instant Pot on Sauté—until very hot.
    Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes on the first side until a crust forms.
    Flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Finish and rest:
    Brush with basting sauce or add a knob of garlic butter (optional).
    Let the steak rest for 8 minutes before slicing.
  5. Serve:
    Slice and finish with sea salt flakes.
    This method ensures the steak has no grey band—check next time compared to a traditional cook!
