Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

The Fajitas

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank OR sirloin steak
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 small green pepper
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper
  • 1/2 small orange OR yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • flour tortillas

Steak Marinade:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 whole lime juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic rough chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Suggested Toppings:

  • guacamole
  • sour cream
  • cheese
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Add the marinade ingredients to a zip top bag then place the meat (whole) in the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 2 hours up 8 hours.
  • When you’re ready to cook, remove the steak from the fridge and drain the marinade. Blot it dry with paper towels, let it come to room temp then slice into strips.
  • Cut the onions and peppers into similar size pieces. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top, season with salt and pepper to taste then toss to coat.
  • Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 400 degrees. Place the peppers and onions in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes pausing halfway to give them a good shake then remove from the air fryer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the steak strips, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Add the steak strips to the air fryer and cook for 6-8 minutes or to your preference (check with a meat thermometer for doneness) then remove from the air fryer. Optional: to reheat the vegetables, return to the air fryer for 1 minute then serve.
