- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 Balsamic or Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, regular or sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon beef paste or bouillon * see notes

Instructions
- Stir together the marinade ingredients in a bowl or zipper style bag. Place steak in bag or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, no longer than 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, remove steak to room temperature for about 3o minutes, discard marinade.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Spray the interior surface or grill insert with non stick oil spray.
- Cook one side of steak for 4 minutes. Using tongs, not a fork, flip over and cook for another 3 minutes and test with meat thermometer. Cook for 1-2 additional minutes as needed. *
- Remove steak to platter and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices. Slice against the grain to serve.
Notes
*I used a flavoring paste of beef and onions in the marinade. I like that it adds to the beefy flavor. You also don't have to use the bouillon, it is optional.
*For a low carb marinade, use a sugar substitute.
Don't reuse the marinade since it had raw meat in it.
*Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in an airtight container for 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
