Prep the steak, onion, red pepper, and snap peas. The steak should be sliced against the muscle length.
In a medium bowl or Ziploc bag (I recommend using a Ziploc bag), mix the marinade ingredients together (garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, water, and Chinese 5 spice).
Add the beef and veggies to the bowl or Ziploc bag and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the air fryer at 400°F/204°C for 5 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil.
Using tongs, add all the beef and veggies to the air fryer basket. Discard the marinade.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F/204°C for 8 minutes. No need to stir.
Serve with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and rice.
Freezer Meal Instructions:
First, combine the beef, veggies, and the marinade together in a Ziploc bag. Then, date and place the bag flat in the freezer.
Take out of the freezer the morning or night before 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 and a strainer. 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.
Preheat the air fryer at 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes. Cook for 8 minutes at 400°F/200°C, checking on it at the halfway point.
Remove from the air fryer and enjoy with rice!
Notes
Serve with 2-3 cups cooked rice, 3 sliced scallions & 2 tablespoons of sesame seed.
