In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade with the cornstarch and water. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens (approximately 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or large skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is 130Β°F for medium-rare or 140Β°F for medium. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the slices.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
