Ingredients

  • – 1 ¼ cups (290 g) mayonnaise
  • – ⅔ cup (177 g) sweet chili sauce
  • – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Sriracha, or more to taste
  • – 2 pounds (907 g) beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) black pepper
  • – 4 cups (744 g) prepared white rice, warmed, divided
  • – 2 cups (140 g) red cabbage, thinly sliced, divided
  • – 1 large carrot, julienned, divided
  • – 1 medium cucumber, halved, sliced, divided
  • – 1 large avocado, thinly sliced, divided
  • – fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • – sesame seeds, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha until well blended. Set this mixture aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the beef cubes to the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the beef pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the capacity of your air fryer, you may need to cook in several batches.
  5. Cook the beef in the air fryer at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl, then add ½ cup of the prepared sauce, tossing to coat the beef thoroughly.
  7. To prepare the bowls, place 1 cup of warm rice in each of the 4 bowls. Add ½ cup of sliced red cabbage, ¼ cup of julienned carrots, and ¼ cup of sliced cucumbers to each bowl.
  8. Top each bowl with equal portions of avocado slices and the sauced beef.
  9. Finish by drizzling the remaining sauce over the bowls and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve promptly.

Notes

  • Adjust the Sriracha in the sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Coat the beef cubes thoroughly in the seasoned oil mixture before air frying for even flavor.
  • Personalize the bowl with your favorite vegetables or add-ons for a unique touch.
