Making these steak fajitas in the air fryer is so quick, easy, and delicious! This recipe is fast and retains great flavour, with tender juicy steak and perfectly roasted veggies. My favourite beef to use for this dish is flank steak. It is lean but has just the right amount of fat to keep the meat really tender and juicy. This works especially well when cooking quickly in the air fryer. But skirt steak also works very well for this recipe.

Ingredients for air fryer steak fajitas
450g flank steak or skirt steak
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of chili powder
A teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
Half a teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced
1 medium brown onion, peeled and sliced
To serve:
Flour or corn tortillas (for serving)
Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, grated cheese, fresh coriander
Method
So start preparing the steak by patting the steak dry with paper towels. Then in a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the steak with olive oil using your hands, then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
If you prefer you can preheat your air fryer to 200°C for about 5 minutes but this is optional.
Place the seasoned steak in the air fryer basket, leaving the crisper plates in. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes on 200C, flipping it halfway through for even cooking. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of about 54 to 57°C. Adjust the time for desired doneness.
While the steak is cooking, toss the sliced bell pepper and onion with a little olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper. So after removing the steak from the air fryer, place the peppers and onions in the air fryer basket. Then set the temperature to 200°C and cook for about 5 minutes, shaking halfway through to ensure it cooks evenly.
After the steak has rested for about 5 minutes, slice it thinly against the grain.
Warm the tortillas in the air fryer or in the microwave. Fill each tortilla with the sliced steak and cooked peppers and onions. Add your favourite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or grated cheese.
Serve and enjoy!
