1 lb Flank Steak, thinly sliced against the grain (450g)
1/4 cup Cornstarch (32g)
1 tbsp Avocado Oil (or other high-heat oil) (15ml)
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground
For the Sauce & Garnish:
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (or Tamari) (120ml)
1/2 cup Water (or low-sodium beef broth) (120ml)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed (100g)
1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced
4 cloves Garlic, minced (about 1.5 tbsp)
1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil (5ml)
2 Green Onions, sliced for garnish
1 tsp Sesame Seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prep & Preheat: Slice steak thinly and toss with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Air Fry Beef: Cook the beef in a single layer for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Make Sauce: While the beef cooks, simmer soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil.
Combine: Toss the crispy air-fried beef with the warm sauce until fully coated.
Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
