Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, cut into bite-sized pieces (lean and tender)
  • 1 cup sweet mini bell peppers, halved (adds color and sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup honey (for a sticky, sweet glaze)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use low-sodium for better control of saltiness)
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic (for a savory kick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for tossing)
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper (adds a hint of spice)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well.
    • Add the steak pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
    • Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Toss with Olive Oil:
    • Toss the marinated steak pieces and halved mini bell peppers in olive oil.
  4. Air Fry:
    • Arrange the steak and peppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once cooked, remove from the air fryer.
    • Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
    • Serve warm as a main dish or appetizer.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, simmer the marinade in a saucepan for 5 minutes before tossing with the cooked steak and peppers.
  • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices.
