asian essentials: salt & pepper beef bites
To be honest, the original dish is made from thin pork chops, and deep fried. My version uses charcoal steaks, and the air fryer. I think that you will enjoy them. You can serve them as a snack, or place them on top of a steaming pile of rice for a meal… Up to you. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
