Been craving steak lately but I work overnights and am mostly out of luck at 6am, so I decided to finally take a crack at it using surface level knowledge from lurking this subreddit.

I seasoned a $15 Walmart Ribeye and then threw it in my air fryer (it’s one of those air fryer/toaster oven hybrids) on bake for 250°F occasionally flipping until it was temping at roughly 115°-120°. I pre-heated a stainless steel pan on high heat on my electric stove top and then sprayed the steak with a canola oil cooking spray before cooking for roughly 1 min on each side. I let it rest for 10 mins.

Overall I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out and it tasted pretty good. I’m assuming I should’ve used a different oil and a cast iron but I was limited on options given how impulsive this was lol.

  1. Sear is a bit hard for my preference, but would absolutely smash.

    Air fryer THEN stainless?? That steak wasn’t cooked. It was forced through two-stage re-entry.

    Thank you for not cutting the whole thing into slices for the sake of a photo op. 👌🏽

    Light your subject matter. I think it looks good at this light anyway, good job! 👍👍👍

    Well done chef.

    That plate though chef. It reminds me of Marlboros and Budweisers.
