Equipment

  • 4 to 6-quart air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb steak such as sirloin or ribeye, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp beef tallow or clarified butter for greasing
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Season the steak strips: Lightly coat the steak strips with sea salt, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
  • Grease the air fryer basket: Use beef tallow or clarified butter to lightly grease the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the steak strips: Place the steak strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the strips are crispy on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare).
  • Serve: Let the steak strips rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):

  • Garlic Butter Drizzle: After cooking, drizzle melted garlic butter over the steak strips for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Peppered Steak Strips: Add freshly cracked black pepper to the steak strips before air frying for a spicier kick.
  • Cheesy Steak Strips: Top the steak strips with grated Parmesan or blue cheese during the last minute of cooking for a cheesy finish.
