Getting Started

To prevent drying, add a tablespoon or two of beef broth to marinades for meats or toss with vegetables before air frying. This provides moisture and encourages browning.
For intensely flavored sauces, reduce beef broth on the stovetop until thickened before adding to your air fryer dish or using as a finishing drizzle. This concentrates flavor without starches.
Use beef broth to deglaze your air fryer basket immediately after cooking meats. Pour a small amount into the hot basket, scrape up any browned bits, and reduce briefly to create a quick, flavorful pan sauce.
Ensure your beef broth is unsweetened and free of added starches or thickeners to maintain low-carb compliance. Check labels carefully for hidden sugars or carrageenan.
