Indulge in Korean BBQ beef sizzle bites with a spicy cheese dip, air fryer style. Perfect for meat lovers seeking bold flavors and crispy textures.
Ingredients
- • Beef sirloin strips: 1 lb (about 1/4 inch thick)
- • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Gochujang (Korean chili paste): 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic, minced: 3 cloves
- • Ginger, grated: 1 teaspoon
- • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Green onions, sliced: 2, plus more for garnish
- • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon, for garnish
- • Cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Cream cheese, softened: 4 oz
- • Milk: 1/2 cup
- • Sriracha sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Crackers or breadsticks, for serving
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the beef gets a good sear and becomes perfectly crispy.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and green onions to create the marinade. Add the beef strips, tossing well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
- 3 While the beef marinates, prepare the spicy cheese dipping sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, and sriracha. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
- 4 Arrange the marinated beef strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until the beef is caramelized and crispy on the edges.
- 5 Transfer the cooked beef sizzle bites to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions for a burst of freshness.
- 6 Serve the beef sizzle bites with the warm spicy cheese dipping sauce and a side of crackers or breadsticks to soak up every last bit of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Korean BBQ Beef Sizzle Bites are perfect as an appetizer or a hearty snack, especially when paired with a chilled glass of lager or a crisp white wine. For a complete meal, serve them alongside a simple cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar and sesame oil to balance the richness of the beef. Alternatively, you can pair these bites with a bowl of steamed jasmine rice and some kimchi for a more traditional Korean touch. The spicy cheese dip not only adds a creamy contrast but also enhances the bold flavors of the beef, making it an irresistible combo.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover beef sizzle bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. The cheese sauce can be stored separately in a sealed container and reheated gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore its creamy consistency.
