Thin-sliced steak and broccoli florets cook separately in the air fryer for maximum browning, then toss together in a glossy soy ginger sauce. It's a faster, lower-mess take on the classic stir-fry, ready for a weeknight dinner over rice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup soy ginger sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

- 0 cooked white rice, for serving
Method
-
In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch and vegetable oil until evenly coated.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
-
Place the beef in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook, shaking the basket once halfway through, until browned and cooked through.
-
Transfer the beef to a plate and toss the broccoli florets with sesame oil, then add to the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry the broccoli at 400°F, shaking the basket once, until bright green and crisp-tender with charred edges.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy ginger sauce, garlic, and fresh ginger, and simmer until slightly thickened.
-
Return the beef and broccoli to a large bowl, pour the warm sauce over them, and toss to coat evenly.
