Blanch green beans for 2 to 4 minutes and set aside until it's time to add all the veggies to the skillet

Sear Steak

Place cast iron skillet or heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat, add grapeseed oil when hot, add steak meat and flip after a brown crust forms on bottom side then flip to sear the other side

Combine all Ingredients

In the same skillet, add the teriyaki sauce and the slurry to thicken the sauce
Add the vegetables and allow them to cook for approximately 4 minutes
Add the seared steak back to the pan
Gently stir until all ingredients are combines
Be mindful of the amount of time as you do not want the vegetables to overcook
