My family loves the flavors of these zippy kabobs. I usually grill them outside, but if it's cold or rainy, I love cooking them in my air fryer. —Jasey McBurnett, Rock Springs, Wyoming

Makes
6 servings
Ingredients
1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 pounds)
1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sriracha chili sauce or 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Optional: Sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions
Directions
Cut beef into 1/4-in.-thick strips. In a large bowl, whisk the first 7 ingredients until blended. Pour 1 cup marinade into a shallow dish. Add beef; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 2-8 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Preheat air fryer to 400°. Drain beef, discarding marinade in dish. Thread beef onto 12 metal or soaked wooden skewers that fit into air fryer. In batches if necessary, arrange skewers in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently using 1/2 cup of reserved marinade.
Meanwhile, to make glaze, bring remaining marinade (about 3/4 cup) to a boil; whisk in 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch. Cook, whisking constantly until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Brush skewers with glaze just before serving. If desired, top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
