1

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

In a large bowl, toss together the beef, broccoli, bell pepper, white parts of the green onions, and vegetable oil. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the meat mixture in the basket.
3

Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking until the meat reaches your desired doneness, for example 145 degrees F (62 degrees C) for medium, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the meat mixture and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, for the sauce, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Stir it into the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute.
5

Toss the beef and vegetables with the sauce in a serving dish. Top with the remaining green onions. Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
