Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Beef Teriyaki
  1. Begin by slicing the beef flank steak into thin strips, about ½ inch thick, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the sliced beef in batches for about 2 minutes until browned.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the seared beef in the skillet, stirring continually, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat, and sprinkle sliced green onions over the beef as garnish.
  6. Plate your Easy Beef Teriyaki over rice or noodles, drizzling any leftover sauce over the dish.
