Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 cup sweet bell peppers, diced (red, yellow, and green)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Steak:
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the steak cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes. -
Prepare the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. -
Cook the Steak and Peppers:
Drain excess marinade from the steak and reserve the liquid. Toss the steak cubes and diced sweet peppers with olive oil. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the peppers are tender. -
Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
While the steak is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Stir in cornstarch and bring to a simmer over medium heat until thickened. -
Coat and Serve:
Once the steak and peppers are cooked, drizzle the thickened sauce over them and toss to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra kick, you can add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Marinating the steak for at least 15 minutes allows the flavors to soak in, but you can marinate longer for even more flavor.
- If you like crispy edges on your steak, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
