Variations
I love experimenting with this recipe! Here are a few variations I enjoy:
Spicy Honey Glazed Steak Strips: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the honey glaze for a spicy kick.
Garlic Honey Glazed Steak Strips: Toss in a minced garlic clove or two with the glaze for an added depth of flavor.
Vegetarian Option: Substitute the steak with plant-based steak strips or tofu for a vegetarian twist on this dish.
Storage/Reheating
If I have leftovers, I usually store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I like to toss the steak strips back into the air fryer for a few minutes to regain some of that crispiness. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
FAQs
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, you can use any steak cut you prefer! I recommend using sirloin or flank steak for tenderness and easy slicing. However, you can also use ribeye or skirt steak if those are your favorites.
Can I make this recipe without honey?
If I don’t have honey on hand, I’ve tried substituting it with maple syrup or agave nectar. Both work well and provide a similar sweetness, though the flavor will vary slightly.
Can I cook the steak strips at a different temperature?
While I recommend cooking the steak strips at 400°F (200°C) for optimal crispiness and flavor, you can adjust the temperature to suit your air fryer model. Lower the temperature slightly if you find that your air fryer cooks too quickly or unevenly.
How can I make the glaze thicker?
If I want a thicker glaze, I usually add a little more honey or even a small amount of cornstarch. Mix the cornstarch with a bit of water before adding it to the glaze to prevent clumps.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, you can double the recipe! Just make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If needed, cook the steak strips in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
Conclusion
These Air Fryer Honey Glazed Steak Strips are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. The sweet and savory honey glaze gives them an irresistible flavor that pairs beautifully with the tender steak. I love how easy it is to make, and the air fryer ensures they turn out crispy and delicious every time. Whether you’re serving it as a main dish or an appetizer, this recipe is sure to be a hit!
