METHOD
Get saucy. Place the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, honey, sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Marinate. Pour the soy sauce mixture (teriyaki) into a large, shallow dish. Add the steak. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Cook. Drain the beef, reserving the marinade to be added back again later. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3 to 4 minutes each side (for medium) or until cooked to your liking. Transfer steak to a plate. Cover loosely with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest while you cook the vegetables.
Add the onion and red pepper to a pan and sauté until onions are soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until water content has cooked off.
Remove vegetables from the pan and add in the reserved marinade and stir in cornstarch to thicken.
Serve. Serve over rice and pour thickened marinade over top. Garnish with green onions.
