Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Start by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Pat the strips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. This will serve as the coating for the beef strips.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water until well combined. This will serve as the egg wash to help the coating stick to the beef.
Dip each beef strip first into the egg wash, ensuring each piece is well-coated, then dredge it into the almond flour mixture. Press the coating lightly onto the beef to ensure it sticks.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the beef strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for approximately 3-4 minutes or until crispy and browned.
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 immediately for the best texture. They are perfect as they are, or you can serve them with a sugar-free dipping sauce of your choice.
