I love my air fryer. I’ve been experimenting with all different recipes. One I’ve done a few times already is London Broil. London Broil roast is like a big lean steak, that’s how I see it. It’s got very little fat. It’s usually about 12 inches long and 2 inches thick. When it’s cooked properly it can come out delicious. It’s a great lean protein. It’s perfect on it’s own, or used in a salad, quesadilla, tacos you name it!
The meat can get a little tough, so you want to try and cook it to a lower temperature and then watch it from there. Give this London Broil a try and you won’t regret it!

What is London broil?
It is a lean meat that has tough muscle fibers. Marinating this beef steak is very important because it helps break down some of the connective tissue prior to cooking so that this beef dish comes out tender and flavorful every time. You can also use a meat tenderizer to break down the toughness of the steak.
How to store leftovers?
Wrap the steak in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you are going to freeze leftovers store them the same way in your freezer for up to 2 months.
How do I know what temperature my steak should be?
Temperature guidelines are as follows for a great cooked steak so use an instant-read meat thermometer or digital thermometer when air frying.
For best results, to cook your perfect steak the internal temperature should read 120-125 degrees F for rare, medium-rare 130-135 degrees F, medium doneness will read 140-145 degrees F, medium well 150-155 degrees F, and well done will be 160 degrees F.
