Recipe: Crispy Beef with Five-Spice Glaze (Air Fryer)
This air fryer recipe for crispy beef with five-spice glaze is a deliciously healthy option for dinner. Made using your Ninja air fryer and the right Ninja accessories, you’ll have a crisp, tender meal ready in no time—without the excess oil found in traditional deep frying.
Ingredients:
- For the Beef:
- 4 x 150g/5½oz minute beef steaks, very thinly sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 peppers (red or yellow), seeds removed and cut into chunks
- 2 onions, cut into 2cm/¾in chunks
- 1 red chilli, seeds removed, sliced
- 1½ tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 spring onions, sliced on an angle, to serve
- Freshly cooked rice or noodles, to serve (optional)
- For the Glaze:
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (mix of black and white or whatever you have)
- 5 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
Method:
-
Marinate the Beef:
Combine the beef strips with soy sauce in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate. -
Cook the Vegetables:
Preheat your Ninja air fryer to 190°C. Toss the peppers, onions, and chilli in ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil. Using a Ninja air fryer tray, place the vegetables in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. -
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, set aside about a teaspoon of sesame seeds for sprinkling. Then, combine the remaining sesame seeds with all the glaze ingredients. Pour the glaze over the cooked vegetables and return them to the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables and set aside in a bowl. -
Cook the Beef:
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. In a separate bowl, mix the cornflour, Chinese five-spice, and remaining vegetable oil with the marinated beef. Coat the beef evenly. Using your Ninja air fryer basket, place the beef strips in a single layer, leaving space for air circulation (you may need to cook in batches). Cook for 7 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking. -
Combine:
Once the beef is crispy, place the cooked vegetables back in the air fryer for 2 minutes to heat up. Remove and toss them with the crispy beef. -
Serve:
Top the dish with spring onions and reserved sesame seeds. Serve with rice or noodles if desired.
Recipe Tips:
- This recipe also works well with chicken for a different twist.
- Marinate the beef for up to 3 hours in advance, and the vegetables can be pre-cooked the day before.
- For the crispiest results, enjoy the beef immediately after cooking.
