A quick and healthy Air Fryer Beef and Broccoli recipe featuring tender steak strips and crispy broccoli florets coated in a light seasoning and perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a deliciously charred and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and 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 steak strips with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until each piece is evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning and tenderize the meat.
  2. Add Everything Together: To the marinated steak, add the broccoli florets along with olive oil and sesame oil. Toss everything carefully until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the seasonings and oils.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 390°F (200°C). This temperature will ensure the steak cooks through quickly while giving the broccoli a nice crisp char.
  4. Air Fry: Spread the steak and broccoli mixture in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and crisping.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the beef and broccoli as is or over rice, noodles, or a fresh salad. For extra flavor, top with chili crisp, sesame seeds, or a splash of soy sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Cut steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • Tossing halfway through air frying helps both steak and broccoli cook evenly and develop crisp edges.
  • Optional toppings like chili crisp, sesame seeds, or soy sauce can enhance the flavor profile.
