That sounds delicious! Here’s a simple Air Fryer Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry recipe that’s quick, flavourful, and healthier than takeout.

Ingredients

For the beef:

  • 1 lb flank steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp corn-starch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but adds great flavour)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 tsp corn-starch mixed with 2 tsp water (to thicken)

For the broccoli:

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Beef

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with corn-starch, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavours.

Step 2: Cook the Beef in the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Spread the beef in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the beef is browned and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 3: Cook the Broccoli

  1. In a bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the broccoli to the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

  1. In a small pan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Stir in the corn-starch slurry (corn-starch mixed with water) and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5: Combine Everything

  1. Toss the cooked beef and broccoli with the sauce in a large bowl until well coated.
  2. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Tips:

✔ For extra crispy beef: Spray the beef lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
✔ Adjust sweetness/spiciness: Add more honey for sweetness or more red pepper flakes for heat.
✔ No oyster sauce? You can skip it or use hoisin sauce instead.
