INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
SIRLOIN STEAK:
- We have to utilize sirloin steak, as it will provide a tender and crispy texture. As a replacement, you can use beef tenderloin, strip steak, Ribeye steak, or flank steak.
AVOCADO OIL:
- Use the avocado oil, which will give nutritious anti-inflammatory fats and help in cooking.
COCONUT AMINOS:
- We use the coconut aminos, which will deliver a umami flavor and savory taste. You can swap it with sugar-free teriyaki sauce, tamari sauce, or low-sodium soy sauce.
GINGER:
- Utilize the ginger to provide a spicy taste and anti-inflammatory benefits. We can switch it out with ginger paste, fresh galangal, or ground ginger.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Use the paper towels to completely dry the cubes of steak for crispy corners.
- Garnish them with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, turmeric, and pepper.
- Stir the keto honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, chili flakes, ginger, coconut aminos, and garlic in a dish.
- Put a cast-iron pan on a slow flame and include the avocado oil till it is warm.
- Include the steak cubes in one layer and don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Slowly cook till they are brown and crispy, for about three minutes.
- Cook them in batches if required.
- Slower the flame and include the butter in a pan, and coat the steak bites with it.
- Spread the prepared sauce in a pan.
- Whisk consistently till it coats the steak bites and becomes thick, for about two minutes.
- Serve these steak bites warm with sesame seeds and parsley.
TIPS:
- Before cooking, marinate the steak for about thirty minutes to get a deep and strong flavor.
- Completely drying the steak is important to provide a maximum crispy texture.
- We utilize freshly grated ginger to get powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
- For the ideal crust creation, you could utilize a cast-iron skillet.
- Before cooking, cool the steak at a neutral temperature for about fifteen minutes.
