Equipment
- Skillet
- Chef's Knife
- Air Fryer
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Place the flank steak in a gallon-sized sealable bag and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients listed and whisk until combined.
- Pour the marinade into the bag with the flank steak. Seal tightly removing any excess air. Store in the refrigerator and marinate for at least twenty minutes or as long as overnight.
- When you are ready to air fry the meat, drain the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Add the steak to the basket and cook for about five to seven minutes on each side only flipping once.
- Cook time depends on the thickness of your steak. Cook until the internal temperature reads 140-145°F for medium doneness or 130°F for medium-rare.
- Let rest for five minutes before slicing.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Enjoy the meat as is, or serve in tacos, burritos, nachos, or salads.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
- Freezing: You can freeze marinated flank steak for up to three months. Just thaw in the fridge before cooking.
- Pairing: Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the rich flavors of the steak.
- Spice it Up: Experiment with different spices in the marinade, such as smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Serving Styles: Try serving in tortillas for delicious tacos, or sliced on top of a salad for a refreshing meal.
