The mass and decay constant of the ground state strange tensor meson $K_2^*(1430)$ with $I(J^P)=1/2(2^+)$ is calculated using the QCD sum rules method. The results are consistent with the experimental data. It is found that SU(3) symmetry breaking effect constitutes about $20^0/_0$ of the decay constant.
