- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
How to make Garlic Butter Flank Steak in the Air Fryer:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic until well combined.
- Rub the garlic butter mixture generously over both sides of the flank steak.
- Season with salt, ensuring you salt the fat cap as well.
- Place the flank steak in the air fryer basket with the fat side facing up, so it renders down and keeps the meat moist during cooking.

- Carefully flip the steak and cook for another 15 minutes at the same temperature.
Pro Tip:
For a more well-done steak, add a few more minutes to the cooking time. Always remember to slice the flank steak against the grain to ensure every bite is tender and juicy.
