Using a knife, score the steak on both sides with shallow cuts across the grain in a criss-cross pattern. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the red wine, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Dijon, and rosemary. Pour the mixture into a plastic zipper bag, then place the steak in the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate it for 4-8 hours, or overnight.
Remove the steak from the bag and place it on a cutting board, then pour the leftover marinade from the bag into a saucepan and set it aside.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Let it rest and come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place the steak inside, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, flipping once. (5 mins each side for 130 degrees/med-rare)
Remove the steak and allow it to rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, make the sauce (optional). Add the beef broth to the saucepan with the marinade. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer it until the sauce thickens. Stir in the butter, taste, and season if necessary.

Slice the steak thinly and against the grain.
Take the flank steak out of the air fryer when it reaches 5 degrees below your desired doneness level. The temperature will rise another 5 degrees while it rests wrapped in foil.
Doneness temperatures:
- Medium-rare: 130-135 degrees F
- Medium: 140-145 degrees F
- Medium-well: 145-150 degrees F
- Well Done: 155-160 degrees F
Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees for about 2-4 minutes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
