Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

The best cuts of beef for this recipe (in my opinion) would be flank steak, London broil, or chuck steak. All three of these will work well and tenderize nicely in the quick time spent in the air fryer.

Step 3

I understand that the “traditional” thickener for this recipe would be cornstarch; however, I like the way all-purpose flour changes up the flavors.

Step 4

One of my contributions to this recipe was the addition of beer. And, the reason I added it was… well, because it is beer :-)

Step 5

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

Step 6

THE SAUCE

Step 7

Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 8

Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

Step 9

Add the remainder of the ingredients, and slowly simmer for about 3 – 4 minutes.

Step 10

Set heat to low, low, cover, and keep warm.

Step 11

THE BEEF

Step 12

Slice the beef against the grain.

Step 13

I usually slice mine about 1/4 inch (0.6cm). Too thin and they will burn when cooking, too thick and they will be really chewy.

Step 14

Whisk together the rice vinegar, and sesame oil, then add the beef slices, and allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 15

Set your air fryer to 375f (190c) and preheat for a few minutes.

Step 16

Take the beef out of the marinade, shake off the excess, and then coat with the flour.

Step 17

Add the beef strips in a single layer to the basket of your air fryer and cook for 5 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 18

You will probably need to do the beef strips in batches. When you finish a batch, just place them on a paper towel, and move on to the next batch. No need to keep them warm.

Step 19

When all the beef strips are cooked, throw them into the reserved sauce, and bring the skillet up to a slow simmer.

Step 20

As the sauce and beef simmer, the flour on the beef will begin thickening the sauce. Once simmering begins, the beef should be ready in 3 – 4 minutes.

Step 21

PLATE/PRESENT

Step 22

Serve over a steaming bowl of rice. Enjoy.

Step 23

Keep the faith, and keep cooking
