Air Fryer Steak Katsu

 

1 strip steak, about 12 oz. and about 1 inch thick

Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

1/2 C. all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 C. panko breadcrumbs

Neutral oil spray

Rice for serving

Sliced green onions for garnish

1/4 C. ketchup

1/4 C. Heinz chili sauce

2 T. Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. celery salt

Fresh black pepper

1 to 2 T. water as needed

 

Place the steak between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound to about 1/2 inch thick – season both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour in one shallow dish, the eggs in a 2nd, and the panko in a third. Dredge the steak in flour and shake off the excess, dip into the egg mixture, then press firmly into the panko so it’s fully coated. Preheat air fryer
at 400 degrees. Spray both sides of the steak lightly with oil, and cook 8 – 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and about medium inside. Stir together the ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, sugar and Dijon – mix well. Rest the steak 3 minutes, then slice into strips and serve over rice with the sauce drizzled over the top – garnish with green onions.
