3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
Now, let’s talk about the cooking process. In Step 1, I heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) and sear the beef slices for 2-3 minutes on each side.
This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.
In Step 2, I add the garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
The key here is to cook the garlic until fragrant and slightly caramelized.

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
