  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced or grated

  5. Air fry broccoli at 370°F for 6 to 8 minutes until tender and browned; remove and set aside.

  7. Arrange steak in air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
