Craving a flavorful and tender flank steak but short on time? Look no further! This air fryer flank steak recipe delivers restaurant-quality results without the fuss. The air fryer's circulating heat ensures even cooking, creating a beautiful sear on the outside and a juicy, medium-rare center.
Here's the secret: Marinate your flank steak for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) in your favorite marinade – think soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of brown sugar for a sweet and savory kick. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated steak in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's not overcrowded. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your effortless and delicious air fryer flank steak!
