Flank Steak Recipe Tips

1. Choose the right cut of meat: Flank Steak, Filet Mignon, Ribeyes, Strip Steaks, Top Sirloin, Porterhouse, and T-Bone are all great for the air fryer. They all have a great fat and meat ratio for the grill or air fryer.

2. Choose the right quality of meat: Purchase good quality meat from a butcher or from the supermarket. They grade meat on marbling and connective tissues. Marbling should be shown throughout the meat with white-colored fat (marbling).  I always look for a thin coat of marble throughout when I make this flank steak recipe since it will melt and give a nice flavor to the meat without it being greasy.

3. Season: Right before you put the flank steak in the air fryer, give it some extra salt and let rest.

4. Room Temperature: Take your meat from the refrigerator and let it rest on the counter for about 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. Steak at room temperature absorbs the seasonings better. It also helps the fibers in the meat loosen, which will produce a tender cut of meat. Room temperature steaks (meat) also cook faster than cold steaks.

5. Let Flank Steak Rest Again: After cooking, let your meat rest for just about 5 minutes. It helps to let the juices flow to the center of the steak so that when you cut the steak, all of the juices will not flow out. This will give you a better piece of meat for dinner or lunch.
