Air fryer crispy chilli beef

Ingredients:

• 500g beef steak, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2-3 red chili peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for the sauce)
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
• Cooked rice for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the beef:
   • In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the honey, rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Set aside.
3. Preheat the air fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the beef:
   • Once preheated, place the marinated beef slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the beef is crispy and golden brown.
5. Make the chili beef sauce:
   • While the beef is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, sliced red chili peppers, and sliced bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the peppers are slightly softened.
   • Add the prepared sauce mixture to the pan and bring it to a simmer.
   • Once simmering, add the cornstarch-water mixture to the pan and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
6. Combine beef and sauce:
   • Once the beef is cooked and crispy, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the prepared chili beef sauce over the crispy beef and toss until well coated.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the crispy chili beef over cooked rice.
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
