Ingredients

  • 500g lean beef sirloin, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add the beef strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the beef strips and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the beef strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beef is crispy and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and enjoy your crispy beef strips!

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the beef strips are dry before marinating.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Try adding different spices like cumin or chili powder for a flavor twist!
