To cook in the air fryer after freezing: Take out of the freezer the morning of using. Since the marinade is a soy sauce base, sometimes it can overwhelm the beef and veggies. To avoid this, about 3 hours before cooking, get a bowl, a strainer, and a plate. Place the strainer in the bowl, dump out the marinade into the strainer/bowl. Leave the beef and veggies in the strainer and the marinade in the bowl. Cover with the plate and place back in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook.
