🥩 Carnivore Air Fryer Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients:
-
1–2 lbs beef short ribs (bone-in or boneless)
-
Salt (generously)
-
Optional: beef tallow, garlic powder, or black pepper (skip spices if doing strict carnivore)
🔥 Instructions:
-
Prep the ribs:
-
Pat dry with paper towels.
-
Generously salt all sides.
-
Let them sit at room temp for 20–30 min (optional, but helps with even cooking).
-
-
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
-
Arrange ribs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd—airflow = crispiness.
-
Cook:
-
375°F for 15 minutes
-
Flip halfway through (at 7–8 mins)
-
For extra crisp: raise to 400°F for the last 3–5 minutes
-
-
Rest 5–10 minutes before eating to let juices settle. Drizzle with melted tallow or butter if you want extra richness.
🧠 Pro Tips:
-
Boneless ribs cook a little faster—start checking at 12 mins.
-
Bone-in ribs = more flavor, but may take a few extra mins.
-
You can dry brine ribs in the fridge with salt overnight for deeper flavor.
-
Love fatty bits? Brush with tallow before cooking for crispy fat edges.
