Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Air Fryer
  • Large Deep Skillet

Method
 

  1. Slice the steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain for the most tenderness, and place into a large bowl.
  2. Add the cornstarch to the steak and toss to coat. Let set in the cornstarch for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Add the steak to the air fryer basket and spritz generously with oil. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket every couple of minutes. Spritz with more oil halfway through cooking.
  4. While the steak is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet on the stove. Add the garlic and ginger and cook in the oil for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar to the skillet and stir well. Bring to a boil and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened.
  6. Carefully add the cooked beef to the sauce and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, tossing the beef in the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top before serving.
