Air Fryer Steak Fajitas
Often when we are talking and I am talking about saving money, Dominic will call be tight.
As in tight with money, as in always wanting to save money where I can and loving to make meals from scraps of food that you wouldn’t normally stretch into a meal.
I am also addicted to buying meat on clearance and thanks to seasonal savings have a chest freezer that is full to bursting with clearance meat.
One of my favourite money saving meals is air fryer steak fajitas. Instead of having air fryer steak, you can stretch one slice of steak between 2-3 people when made into fajitas and it makes a wonderful family meal.
Today I wanted to share with you my air fryer beef steak fajitas and to show you just how easy steak fajitas are for a quick dump and start air fryer dinner.
What Cut Of Meat Is Best For Steak Fajitas?
Firstly, when turning to the air fryer to make beef fajitas, I am sure you want to know what cut of beef works best.
Many will suggest flank steak fajitas, but I prefer to use a single rump steak.
I got a beef rump steak from the butchers and he sliced it into stroganoff slices for me so that I didn’t have to when I got home.
Because rump steak from the butchers is rather thick one rump steak will make a good sized air fryer beef fajitas portion.
Though of course you can use your own favourite cut of beef, though avoid any beef that needs to slow cook, otherwise your steak fajitas will be very tough and inedible.
Flank Steak Vs Rump Steak For Steak Fajitas?
It is always best if you have the budget, to opt for rump steak over flank steak.
This is because flank steak is a much cheaper cut of meat and is often used by butchers to make minced/ground beef with.
While rump steak is meant for steak meaning that it suits steak fajitas a lot more.

Air Fryer Steak Fajitas Ingredients & Gadgets
To make air fryer steak fajitas the ingredients are straight forward and simple:
- Beef Steak – It comes down to personal choice which type of steak you use in your beef fajitas, but we used rump steak from the butchers.
- 3 Mixed Peppers – I like to include a yellow, red and green pepper in my steak fajitas as I like them to be colourful. But you can use any mix of your favourite colours or just go all red.
- Onion – I used a medium white onion in this recipe, but you can swap for red if you prefer.
- Seasonings – I like to mix and match when I make fajitas. I used fajitas seasoning alongside a steak pepper mill and salt. This is the fajitas seasoning I recommend.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – This makes sure that your beef and vegetables stay moist but without it being too greasy. This is my favourite extra virgin olive oil that I use all the time.
As well as the main ingredients, an air fryer with a good air fryer basket is essential for making steak fajitas. The air fryer oven just doesn’t compare. Though if you have not yet bought an air fryer, we recommend the Philips Air Fryer XL.

- Peel and slice your white onion.
