Air-Fried Carne Asada Quesadilla with Charred Salsa

Instructions

• 1To make the asada, place the oil, soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin and steak in a large resealable bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight to marinate. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 2To make the salsa, for easy cleaning and to avoid burning, line the roasting pan with foil. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them in the pan skin side up. Add the garlic, onion and jalapeño.
• 3Insert the wire rack into position 2. Place the pan in the oven. Set the oven to Broil, High for 10 minutes and press Start.
• 4The tomatoes, onion, jalapeño and garlic should be charred. If not, broil a little longer.
• 5Set the pan aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
• 6Place all the ingredients from the pan with the lime juice, cilantro and salt in a food processor bowl and pulse to form a chunky salsa. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
  Tip: The salsa tastes even better if made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
• 7Line the roasting pan with foil and place the broiling rack in the pan. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Place on the rack and season both sides with salt and pepper.
