Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Prepare the beef fat: Slice the fat into thin, chip-like pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Season the fat slices: Lightly season with salt, ensuring even coverage.
Cook the beef fat chips: Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Let the chips cool for a few minutes, as they will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes

Garlic Beef Chips: Toss cooked chips in melted garlic butter for extra flavor.
Cheesy Beef Chips: Sprinkle Parmesan over the chips in the last minute of cooking for a cheesy finish.
