How to Make It
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, cornstarch, and water.
Heat over medium, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens—this should take about 3–5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Air Fry
Arrange the steak and bell pepper pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Steak should be slightly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and peppers lightly charred.
4. Sauce It Up
Transfer the cooked steak and peppers to a bowl.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over and toss to coat evenly.
