Crispy Honey-Glazed Steak Strips in the Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 lb thinly sliced flank steak

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, for deeper flavor)

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Steak

1. Pat the steak slices dry with a paper towel.

2. In a large bowl, mix the steak with:

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt

3. Let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes (or longer in the fridge for more flavor).

Step 2: Coat the Steak

1. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cornstarch over the marinated steak. Toss until evenly coated. This helps create a crispy texture in the air fryer.

Step 3: Air Fry

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.

2. Arrange steak strips in a single layer in the basket. Don’t overcrowd—cook in batches if needed.

3. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and browned.

Step 4: Make the Honey Glaze

While the steak is air frying:

1. In a small bowl, mix:

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2. Warm it slightly in the microwave (10–15 seconds) or on the stove so it’s easy to drizzle.

Step 5: Glaze and Serve

1. Once steak strips are crispy, transfer them to a bowl.

2. Drizzle the honey glaze over the hot steak and toss to coat.

3. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
