Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the ground beef, stirring to coat evenly.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
