**Servings:** 4

**Total Time:** 48 minutes

**Preparation Time:** 10 minutes

**Overnight Preparation Required:** No

**Cooking Time:** 8 minutes (plus marinating time)

### Tools
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Air fryer

### Ingredients
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (use low-sodium tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for soy-free)
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 16 ounces trimmed NY strip steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-1.5 inch florets
- 6 to 8 medium scallions, white and light green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces

### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Marinade:**
   - In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Season with black pepper to taste.

2. **Marinate the Beef:**
   - Divide the marinade between two bowls. Add the beef cubes to one bowl and toss to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

3. **Prepare the Skewers:**
   - If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. Drain before threading.
   - Thread the skewers by alternating scallion pieces, broccoli florets, and beef cubes. Each skewer should have 2 layers of each ingredient, ending with a scallion piece. Brush the skewers with the reserved marinade and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

4. **Air Fry the Skewers:**
   - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 4 minutes, then turn the skewers and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the beef reaches the desired doneness. Brush with any remaining marinade during cooking.

### Health Benefits
