Crispy Shredded Beef (Keto)
Strips of beef sirloin are dredged in seasoned almond flour and fried until crackling, then tossed in a glossy garlic-chili glaze with scallion and red bell pepper. Sweetened with erythritol instead of sugar, the dish keeps the classic sticky-crisp texture while staying low in carbohydrate.
