Crispy Roast Beef An Easy and Guaranteed Homemade Recipe
Are you looking for a way to make crispy roast beef at home without the hassle? We often hear about crispy roast beef recipes from Asian cuisines, such as "Siu yuk," but we can make a delicious version using beef instead of pork. The result is tender meat on the inside and a crispy, golden crust on the outside, making this recipe perfect for a special dinner or special feast.
The advantage of this method is that it doesn't require complicated steps such as drying the crust or cooking it in the oven for a long time. Instead, you can use an air fryer or even a home oven with a simple final touch of frying for crispiness.
Ingredients
- 1 kg beef belly (some fat is preferred for a crispier texture)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons cooking wine or white vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions
Marinade
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice or seven-spice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
For the rub:
- 1 tablespoon coarse or rock salt
Directions
- Rub the beef with the coarse salt and let it marinate for half an hour to an hour.
- In a deep pot, boil enough water to cover the meat. Add the green onions and cooking wine (or vinegar), then add the meat and boil for 10 minutes over medium heat to reduce any excess odor.
- Combine the marinade ingredients well in a small bowl.
- Remove the meat from the pot and pierce its surface with a metal skewer or fork to create small holes that will help the fat escape during grilling.
- Dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels, then rub the marinade mixture on all sides except the fat layer or outer crust.
- Place the meat on a plate, cover it with plastic wrap, fat side up, and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator an hour before cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Place the meat fat-side down for 20 minutes, then turn it over and grill for another 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the fat-side down until it puffs up and becomes crispy.
The final result:
You get a crispy roast beef dish with a golden, crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat on the inside. This recipe is perfect served with white rice, grilled vegetables, or even as a delicious sandwich.
