Made with budget-friendly flank steak and a 5-ingredient dry rub, this Air Fryer Flank Steak recipe is tender, juicy, and cooks in less than 15 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or any time you need an easy dinner idea.
Remove steak from the refrigerator and allow it to rest on the counter until it comes to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
Using a paper towel, pat the meat until it’s dry. Sprinkle the seasonings onto both sides of the meat and rub it into the meat.
Lightly spritz the air fryer basket with oil then place the steak in the basket. Cook at 380 degrees F for your preferred doneness (see times in Notes below). Use a meat thermometer to verify temperature.
Remove steak from air fryer and place on a plate. Cover steak with foil and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting. After the resting period, slice the steak by cutting against the grain and serve.
