Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation Pat the sliced beef dry with a paper towel. In a large bowl, toss the beef strips with cornstarch, black pepper, and half of the oil until evenly coated. In a separate small jar or bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create your sauce. Set the sauce aside for later.
- Step 2: Air Frying the Beef and Broccoli Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the beef in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap too much. Air fry for 5 minutes. Open the basket, add the broccoli florets, and drizzle the remaining oil over the greens. Shake the basket to mix. Air fry for another 4 to 5 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp with slightly charred edges.
- Step 3: Sauce Coating and Plating Transfer the hot beef and broccoli into a large clean bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and toss immediately. The residual heat from the food will thicken the sauce and help it cling to every piece. Serve immediately over steamed white rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a professional finish.
