Ingredients
Method
- Thinly slice the flank steak. Place it in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Add cornstarch to the bag and shake until the beef pieces are coated on all sides.
- Add the beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- While the beef cooks, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, honey, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the teriyaki sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.
- Return the cooked beef to the teriyaki sauce and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes
- Slicing the Beef. Be sure to slice the flank steak into thin slices going against the grain. This ensures the beef is tender and that it will cook evenly.
- Hot Skillet. Make sure the skillet and oil are hot before adding the beef. This will sear the outside of the beef and lock in the flavor and moisture.
- Use the Right Size Skillet. Use a skillet that will allow the pieces of beef to cook in a single layer. If it's too small, consider cooking in batches so that each piece browns nicely.
- Cooking the Sauce. Simmer the teriyaki sauce until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency. A thick sauce will coat the beef much better.
- Get the Flavor Just Right. Adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to your preference. You can add more honey if you want it sweeter and more soy sauce if you prefer a saltier flavor.
