Ingredients

• 1T olive oil
• 1lbs. skirt steak, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 green pepper, seeded, membrane removed, and thinly sliced
• Pinch of flour
• 1 tube crescent roll dough, 8oz.
• 1⁄2c mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Cooking spray, as needed
• 2T melted butter

Directions

1. Add olive oil to a frying pan and sauté the sliced steak over a medium heat for 4–6 minutes.
2. Add the onions and green peppers to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, then set aside.
3. Dust a cutting board with flour. Unroll the crescent dough onto the cutting board, shaping the dough into one large rectangle that will fit into the Air Fry Basket.
4. Spoon the steak mixture in a strip down the center of the dough and top with cheese.
5. Using a sharp knife, make cuts 11⁄2 inches apart on the long side of the dough, within 1⁄2 inch of the steak mixture.
6. Twist each strip once, alternating while crossing over the filling. Tuck the short ends of the strips under and press together to seal.
7. Spray the Air Fry Basket with cooking spray. Place the braid in the Air Fry Basket.
8. Press PRESET and use the START/PAUSE dial to select PRESET 81. Press START/PAUSE to begin preheating. Once preheated, the unit will beep twice, display “Ready”, countdown for 10 seconds and then beep once to give you time to insert your food.
9. Open the door. Brush the braid with melted butter and slide the Air Fry Basket into rack position 2. Close the unit to begin cooking Stage 1 (375°F for 10 minutes), after which the unit will beep three times, alerting you to brush the braid again before the unit moves on to Stage 2 (400°F for 3 minutes). When finished, the unit will beep three times and display “End”.
10. Carefully remove the braid and place it on the cutting board or serving tray. Cut the braid crosswise.
