Marinated Flank Steak – Air Fryer or Grill

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3.5 (ZReboot3.5) recipe.

Servings: Serves 2- 3. Can be doubled easily to feed a family or a small party.

Flank steak needs to marinate to give it full flavor and to make it tender. We all love the price of flank steak compared to higher-priced cuts like beef fillet. It just needs a little attention to make it shine. I cooked this in my air fryer but if you don’t have one you can just toss it on the grill and follow the same basic instructions.

I have a new fave in the honey department. I found this sweetener at my grocery store when I was looking for honey. I haven’t had a bottle of honey in my cupboard in years so this was a pleasant surprise. The honey makes a big difference in this marinade. It really made the steak taste special.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 2 tsp of powdered garlic
• 2 Tbl of red wine vinegar
• 3 Tbl of Honey 50. If you can’t find this, I’d go with 2 Tbl of a good farmer’s market honey.
• 1 lb of flank steak

Instructions:

In a large baggie put in the oil, garlic, vinegar and honey. Stir the ingredients around by squishing the bag with your hands until it’s all mixed up. Add the flank steak and zip it shut. Swirl it around from the outside to distribute the marinade. Let set in the zipped bag in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours or longer if you can.

Lightly spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the steak in the basket and cook in your air fryer for 15 minutes on 400 degrees. Let the steak sit on the counter for 10 minutes for the juices to reabsorb. Air fryers are not all the same so you may need to adjust according to your appliance.

Slice the flank steak on the bias (across the grain) into narrow slices and serve.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
