Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional)
Instructions
- Cut steak into evenly sized cubes and season with salt and pepper. Chop bell peppers into similar-sized chunks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir in cornstarch slurry if using.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss steak and peppers with olive oil and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
