Why This Recipe Works
We tossed the vegetables with potent toasted sesame oil and gave them a head start in the air fryer to prevent overcrowding the air-fryer basket and steaming the steak. We roasted the zucchini in larger pieces so that it could brown but not overcook or get mushy. Then we removed the zucchini and mushrooms and cooked the steak till it was lightly browned. While the meat rested, we made a miso dressing, sliced the zucchini into smaller pieces, and tossed it with the mushrooms and the dressing.
