Air Fryer Garlic Soy Marinated Rib-Eye Steak

Place the steaks in a large, airtight container to create a marinade mixture. Combine the steaks with soy sauce, olive oil, and any desired seasonings to form a cohesive blend. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Next, remove the steaks from their marinade mixture and discard any excess liquid. Using a paper towel, gently pat the steaks dry to remove any excess oil.

To prevent smoke during cooking, add a small amount of water - approximately 1 tablespoon - to the bottom of the air fryer pan. This will help maintain a clean and smoke-free environment.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). This will ensure optimal cooking conditions for the steaks.

Cook the steaks in the preheated air fryer for 7 minutes, followed by a flip. Continue cooking for an additional 7 minutes to achieve medium-rare doneness. For a medium-cooked steak, cook for an additional 1 minute per side.

Finally, allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
