A quick and flavorful Air Fryer Beef and Broccoli recipe featuring tender marinated steak strips and crispy broccoli florets cooked to perfection in the air fryer. This dish combines simple ingredients with a fast cooking method for a delicious, healthy meal that’s perfect served on its own, over rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Marinade

  • 1 pound steak (flank, skirt, or sirloin, cut into bite-sized strips against the grain)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables and Oils

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, toss the bite-sized steak strips with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes to tenderize and absorb the seasoning.
  2. Add Broccoli and Oils: Add the broccoli florets, olive oil, and sesame oil directly into the bowl with the marinated steak. Toss all ingredients together carefully until everything is well combined and evenly coated with the oils and seasonings.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for a few minutes to ensure the basket is hot and ready for cooking.
  4. Arrange Ingredients: Spread the steak and broccoli mixture in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in two batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Air Fry: Cook the steak and broccoli for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. The steak should be cooked through, and broccoli should have slightly charred, crispy edges.
  6. Serve: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately. This dish is delicious on its own or served over rice, noodles, or a salad. Optional toppings include chili crisp, sesame seeds, or a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Cut steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crisp texture.
  • If you like spicier dishes, add a dash of chili crisp or chili flakes as a topping.
  • Use fresh broccoli florets for the best texture and flavor.
  • Marinating the steak with cornstarch helps to keep the meat juicy and tender during cooking.
