I’m a huge fan of making steak in my air fryer and I’m known for making it all kinds of ways in my Air Fryer. I’ve done ribeye to serve alongside fries and salad, steak kebabs in the air fryer, and now I present air fryer steak fajitas.
This is one of those recipes that have come in handy on out taco Tuesdays weeknights. Aside from the marinating, it’s quick and easy and clean up is a breeze. I’m sure it’s a recipe you’ll add to your dinner rotations as well.
How to make steak fajitas in your Air Fryer?
For my steak fajitas, I like to do a marinade rather than a dry rub. I like my steak pieces to be tender and full of flavor and I found that a marinade made with pineapple juice, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, and other spices gave the best flavor. Also, pineapple juice is known to tenderize steak.
Add the marinade ingredients to steak that has been sliced against the grain. I use either flank steak or top sirloin, although I tend to prefer flank for this recipe. Flank is just pricier but either will work. Place your steak in the refrigerator and allow it to marinate for 2-4 hours.
When your ready to cook, remove yout steak from the refrigerator. Slice your peppers and onions. Place in the air fryer on top of a piece of foil paper that is the size of your air fryer basket. Spray the vegetables with oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Close the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, stir the peppers and place the steak pieces on top of the peppers and onions, making sure they are evenly spread on top. Close the air fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes at 400 degrees.
Open and stir and serve over tortillas with your favorite toppings. We usually stick with cheese, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and sour cream.
I hope you enjoy these steak fajita recipe as much as we do.

Marty says
What quart size air fryer did you use for this recipe?
Tanya says
Hi Marty, I used my 5.3 Bella Pro for this recipe.
Carol says
Aluminum is a neurotoxin and you should never cook with it.
Tanya says
Thanks Carol. Any oven safe dish would work as well.
Alfred Gorlick says
Doesn’t the use of foil diminish the circulation and intent of the air fryer?
Tanya says
Hi Alfred, no it doesn’t. The foil is placed in the air fryer so that all the liquid from the vegetables and marinade don’t fall to the bottom of the air fryer. It keeps the vegetables and steak juicy and tender. The foil stays open at the top so it benefits from the high heat and the fan of the air fryer.
