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
- 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).
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss with Olive Oil:
- Toss the marinated steak pieces and halved mini bell peppers in olive oil.
- 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.
- 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.
