Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (any colour), sliced into strips

- 15 ml (1 tbsp) smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 inside round steaks (French steak), about 150 g (⅓ lb) each*
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) salt-free steak spice blend
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F (200 °C).

- Meanwhile, rub the steaks with the spice blend.
- Toss the vegetables in the basket and place the steaks in the centre. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through.
- Cover the steaks with aluminum foil and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For optimal tenderness, enjoy immediately. Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
* Inside round is a particularly lean cut, with about 20% protein by weight. You can also choose sirloin tip or top sirloin, which are similarly lean compared to other steak cuts.
