Air Fryer Orange Beef

Raise your hand friends if your air fryer gets more use some weeks than your oven. Over here some weeks are so hectic I only use my air fryer, Instant Pot, and slow cooker. Absolute lifesavers which allow me to get dinner on the table without ordering out.

There’s nothing complicated about making dinner in an air fryer, just get to know your model by starting off simple. Personally, I started with making frozen french fries, no shame there. What this did was help me get comfortable with the settings and I moved along from there easily.

Today I’m sharing a family-friendly dinner that is easy and full of flavor. Air Fryer Orange Beef will be a new family favorite for sure, served with some noodles or rice, and dinner is served. My family enjoys this dish with some Roasted Broccoli and Bacon alongside. Gotta love it when dinner is easy, good, and gets gobbled up by all.
