Slice the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even coating.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. This will be used to help the coating adhere to the beef.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Dip each beef strip into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the beef to ensure it sticks well.
Once the oil is hot, place the coated beef strips in the pan in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can prevent the strips from getting crispy. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the beef strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the beef strips from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy beef strips hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top for an extra zing.
