  to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
• 3 Air fry the steak at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the steak halfway
  through. Remove and set aside.
• 4 In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and
  ginger, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
• 5 Pour the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin, and rice vinegar into the pan
  and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring
  occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. If desired, add red pepper
  flakes for a spicy kick.
• 6 Add the steak to the pan with the sauce and toss to coat. Stir until all the
  beef is coated and the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
• 7 Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
• 8 Serve over steamed rice.
