2tbspolive oil
1/4cupgrated Parmesan cheese
1teaspoonSalt, to taste
1/2teaspoonBlack pepper, to taste
Instructions
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning and crust adhere better.
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steak and rub it in to coat evenly. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese. Press the cheese mixture into the steak, covering both sides to form a crust.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Place the steak in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, depending on your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended).
After cooking, let the steak rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the crispy, Parmesan-coated goodness!
