Air frying skirt steak is a quick and convenient way to cook this flavorful cut of meat. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer skirt steak:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). This will be your seasoning blend.
- Rub the olive oil all over the skirt steak, coating it evenly.
- Sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides of the steak, pressing it gently to adhere.
- Place the seasoned skirt steak in the preheated air fryer basket.
- Cook the steak in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) to 135°F (57°C).
- Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious air fryer skirt steak!
Remember to adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the skirt steak and your personal preference for doneness. It’s always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
