Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Begin by preparing the beef ribs. If needed, remove the membrane from the back of the rib's(if need be) side for better flavor absorption. Make sure that the ribs are at room temperature.
2 Pounds Beef Ribs
Add a drizzle of olive oil. Next, season the ribs with my dry beef rub. Ensure both sides are evenly coated, gently patting the seasoning into the meat. If possible allow to marinate for 6 hours or overnight.
1/2 Cup Beef Rub Seasoning, 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Place the seasoned beef ribs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. It's important not to overcrowd the basket to allow proper air circulation.
Cook the ribs in the air fryer for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees. Cooking duration may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and your desired level of doneness, so adjust accordingly. If you prefer your ribs with a caramelized glaze, you can brush them with barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This step is optional and can be skipped if you prefer a dry-style rib.
1 Cup Honey BBQ Sauce
Once the beef ribs are cooked to your desired level of tenderness and flavor, remove them from the air fryer.
Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This resting period will help the juices settle and enhance the overall taste.
Serve the beef ribs hot and enjoy them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, cornbread, or a fresh salad.
