Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika (if using).
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is fully coated.
  3. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

  1. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess.
  2. Place the flank steak in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overlap it for even cooking.
  3. Cook the steak at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred doneness (8 minutes for medium-rare, 10 for medium).

Step 4: Rest the Steak

  1. Once cooked, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making the steak more tender.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  1. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
  2. Serve with your favorite sides or in tacos, salads, or sandwiches!

Enjoy your juicy, perfectly cooked air fryer flank steak!
