You’ll Need
500g beef steak (rump, sirloin, or frying steak), sliced very thin
80g cornflour
Oil spray
2 spring onions, sliced
1 tsp sesame seeds
Sticky Honey Chilli Sauce
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp sriracha
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water
Optional but Dangerous
Fresh red chillies
Crispy onions
Steamed jasmine rice
Extra sriracha
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Pat the beef dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.
Toss the beef strips in the cornflour until fully coated.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.
Arrange the beef in a single layer and spray the tops lightly with oil.
Air fry at 200°C for 8–10 minutes, shaking every few minutes, until dark golden and crispy.
Meanwhile add the honey, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar to a saucepan.
Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the cornflour slurry and cook until thick, glossy, and sticky.
Tip the cooked beef into a large bowl.
Pour over the hot glaze and toss thoroughly until every strip is coated.
Return to the air fryer for a final 1–2 minutes so the sauce tightens around the beef.
Finish with spring onions, sesame seeds, and fresh chillies if using.
Serve immediately with hot rice.
