  • Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate the skirt steak in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or overnight, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.

Green Sauce:

  • In a food processor, combine parsley, shallots, garlic, red bell peppers, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
    1 cup fresh parsley leaves, 2 shallots, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup red bell peppers, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pulse the ingredients until finely chopped.
  • With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and red wine vinegar until the sauce reaches a smooth consistency.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.

Air-Frying Skirt Steak:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the steak in the air fryer basket and cook for 6-8 minutes (or until internal temp reaches 120-125° F) for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness and the thickness of the steak.
  • Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
  • Arrange a bed of fresh arugula on each plate. Place slices of air-fried skirt steak on top of the arugula. Drizzle the vibrant green sauce over the steak. Enjoy.
