In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef slices and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the teriyaki sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

For extra tenderness, marinate the beef in some of the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or ribeye.
