Chelsea Davis never even thought you could — or should — cook a nice steak in the air fryer, but Gordon Ramsay's coffee-and-chili-rubbed rib-eye recipe has totally proved her wrong.

Davis is a huge fan of rib-eye steaks. She loves the fattiness of the cut and the tender juiciness of the meat.

This 2-inch-thick, 1 1/2-pound steak was hefty and it looked like it would be a pain to cook properly if she wasn't using an air fryer.

The rub includes 11 different ingredients and is easy to put together.

Davis combined ground coffee, ancho chili powder, paprika, dark-brown sugar, salt, pepper, ground coriander, ground mustard, ground ginger, and dried oregano.

The only ingredient she couldn't find was the Aleppo pepper so she substituted it with a bit of cayenne.

Ramsay recommends letting the steak sit for 15 minutes with the rub on.

Davis completely coated her room-temperature steak with the mixture, making sure to get the sides.

Davis heated the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and tried to cook her steak to a medium finish.

She slightly sprayed the basket with oil and cooked the steak for 10 minutes on each side.
