INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Steak (flank or skirt)
• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup Lime Juice
• 1 Garlic Clove
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• Bell Peppers and Onion (for serving)
• Tortillas
• Fresh Tomatoes
• Cilantro
• Sour Cream

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare the Marinade:

1. In a bowl, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
2. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later use.

Marinate the Steak:

1. Place the steak in a large plastic zip-top bag.
2. Pour the remaining marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s completely coated. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.
3. Massage the marinade into the steak to evenly distribute the flavors.
4. Refrigerate the marinating steak for at least 4 hours, or ideally up to 24 hours.

Prepare the Vegetables:

1. When you’re ready to cook, mix the reserved 1/4 cup of marinade with bell peppers and onion.

Air Fry the Steak:

1. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
2. Place the marinated steak in the air fryer basket.
3. Select the Meat Setting at 370°F and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the steak and adjust the cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness, typically 3-5 additional minutes.
4. Once done, remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Air Fry the Vegetables:

1. Remove the bell peppers and onion from the marinade and add them to the air fryer basket.
2. Set the temperature and time to 370°F for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of tenderness.

Assemble and Serve:

1. Slice the steak into thin strips.
2. Serve the sliced steak, cooked vegetables, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, tortillas, and sour cream.

TIPS:

• Choosing the Perfect Cut: Opt for a tender cut of steak, such as flank or skirt steak, for the best results. These cuts work wonderfully in fajitas due to their tenderness and flavor-absorbing qualities.
• Marinating Magic: Marinating the steak is key to infusing it with flavor. Aim to marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, but if time allows, extend it to 24 hours for even more intense flavor.
• Searing Steak: When cooking the steak in the air fryer, keep an eye on the thickness and adjust the cooking time accordingly. The goal is to achieve your preferred level of doneness, whether it’s medium-rare or well-done.
• Perfect Pairings: Serve your steak fajitas with tortillas, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream for a well-rounded Tex-Mex experience.
