Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Your choice of seasoning for air fryer steak (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes) for versatility
- 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar (adjust to preference, If marinating)
Instructions
1. Dry the steak thoroughly with paper towels. This ensures the seasoning adheres well and promotes a nice sear.
2. Season the steak on both sides. Use salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. This air fryer temperature is optimal for achieving perfect steak doneness.
4. Place the steak in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd; doing so helps with even cooking.
5. For medium-rare, cook for about 8 minutes. For medium, aim for 10 minutes. These cooking times for steak are general guidelines, so adjust according to your air fryer model and size of the steak.
6. Halfway through, use tongs to flip the steak. Flipping steak in air fryer ensures even cooking on both sides.
7. Once done, let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Resting skirt steak allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring your steak is juicy and flavorful.
Notes
Always check the steak’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired steak doneness levels. Medium-rare is typically 135°F, while medium is around 145°F. Remember, resting meat is crucial for a juicy steak.
