Instructions

Step 1

Mix five-spice, soy, sesame oil, and sugar, then toss with beef strips and chill if desired.

Step 2

Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef, separate into strips, and drizzle with oil.

Step 3

Place the beef in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 6 minutes, shake, then cook for an additional 4 minutes until crispy.

Step 4

While the beef cooks, heat oil in a pan and stir-fry garlic, ginger, chilli, pepper, and white spring onions for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add vinegar, soy, sweet chilli, and ketchup to the pan and cook until bubbling.

Step 6

Toss the crispy beef into the sauce, cook for 1 minute, and garnish with green spring onions.

Pro Tips

#1

Marinating the beef for up to 24 hours improves flavor.

#2

Use a second air fryer zone to roast the red pepper chunks instead of stir-frying them.

#3

Ensure beef strips are separated before air frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
