In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
Place the beef sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for optimal flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes). Discard any excess marinade.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Season the steaks lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the steaks before serving.
Serve the sesame steaks hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
