I also make it a point to clean the top part of the air fryer (where the heating element is located) once a week before the grease and dirt build up over time.
It is quite difficult to clean this part of the air fryer because the space up there is very tight and it is not easy to get into every nook and cranny. I just do the best I can.
So. Daging Goreng Kunyit. Now that I am quite happy with the convenience of the air fryer, I am not so inclined to fry beef using a wok on the stove.
And as usual, I love using beef trimmings and perhaps in future I will use other cuts of beef. For seasoning it is simply salt, turmeric powder and garlic powder. You can also add some curry powder for extra uummphh!
Then I put a layer of curry leaves and sliced shallots (leftovers from making crispy fried shallots) in the air fryer basket.
Yes, I line the air fryer basket with a layer of aluminum foil and baking paper to avoid mess and to make clean up easier.
Then place the seasoned beef pieces on top of the curry leaves and shallots.
After 10 minutes at 200C, it looked like this. I sort of stirred the beef around and continued cooking for another 5 minutes.
The curry leaves are all crisped up and the shallots wilted and slightly browned, adding a lot of fragrance to the dish.
So there you have it. Fuss free Daging Goreng Kunyit in 15 minutes with minimum clean up.
Note : The beef trimmings I used have fatty parts that contribute fats to the dish. If using leaner cuts, mix the meat with some oil.
