Servings:

Ingredients

1 pound flank steak thinly sliced
1/4 cup corn starch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon pepper optional
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 green onions sliced, optional

Instructions

Slice the steak into thin strips.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F for 3 Minutes.
Toss the strips of beef in the corn starch. Transfer the coated beef to your air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes cooking time or until crispy.
While the meat cooks, combine the oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl. Whisk the sauce ingredients until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook the sauce for 2 minutes.
Put the sauce back in your bowl. Add the cooked steak to the bowl. Stir so the sauce coats the steak.

Notes

Serve over noodles, white rice or brown rice.

Garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
