Air Fryer Skirt Steak - Perfectly Cooked!

skirt steak

🥗Healthier: flank steak

💰Cheaper: chuck steak

Flank steak is leaner, while chuck is budget-friendly.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil offers a similar flavor with higher smoke point.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice provides acidity with a different flavor profile.

In a small mixing bowl combine all the spices. Set aside. Line the air fryer tray with foil, if desired.

In a larger mixing bowl, add your chopped cilantro, avocado oil, and zest and juice from one lime. Next, stir in your spices. Put the skirt steak in the bowl and coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Pre-heat the air fryer to 400F. Once marinated, add your skirt steak to your air fryer. Set air fryer to 400F (425F if your air fryer will go that high) and let cook for about 5 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 135F (medium rare), or the internal temperature of your liking. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for up to 10 minutes. Slice on the long end for the most tender bites of skirt steak.
