How long to cook flank steak in the air fryer
Depending on the size and thickness of your steak, it will take around 10 minutes to cook in the air fryer at 400°. This is for a steak cooked to medium-rare. Of course, if you prefer a steak that’s more well done, you’ll need to cook it longer. Also, if your steak is smaller or larger you can adjust the cooking time by 2-3 minutes (less or more) as needed.

A simple homemade steak seasoning
I always prefer to make my own seasoning mixes, because most of the time pre-packaged mixes have fillers and preservatives in them.

A dry rub vs. marinade
Some people insist that you need to marinate a flank steak, but I don’t agree. All you need is the right seasoning and cooking technique and you’ll get a tender, juicy steak every time.
