EQUIPMENT

  • 1 Air Fryer

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, sliced green onions, (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut the flank steak into thin slices and coat each piece lightly in cornstarch. Place the steak strips into your air fryer basket and generously spray with cooking oil. Flip each piece and spray the other side.
  • Air fry at 370 degrees for 7 minutes.
  • While the steak is cooking, combine oyster sauce, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder and ground ginger to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour the sauce into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Once it has thickened, remove from heat and add your cooked steak to the sauce then toss together to coat.
  • Serve over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

NOTES

Storage Instructions:
  • If you have any leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them for 2 days. The best way to reheat this Mongolian beef is to microwave it. Air frying it will actually cause the sticky sauce on it to start burning.
Other FAQ Suggestions: 
  • What Can I Use Instead of Cornstarch? You can use rice flour or even just some regular all purpose flour instead.
  • What Else Can I Add? Green beans, carrots, mushrooms and bell peppers are all wonderful accompaniments for this Air Fryer Mongolian beef.
  • What Can I Use Instead of Oyster Sauce? If you don't have oyster sauce, you can use teriyaki sauce or any other Asian inspired sauce of your choice.
