Ingredients
Method
- Slice the flank steak into thin pieces, then add it to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Add the cornstarch to the bag, then shake until the beef pieces are coated on all sides.
- Add beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef until brown, about 3-4 on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- While the beef is cooking, add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, honey, and cornstarch to a medium bowl. Whisk until there are no lumps.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the teriyaki sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer until thickened. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked ground beef back into the teriyaki sauce and toss to coat.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Enjoy!

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.
