Instructions

Tips & Variations

  • Swap the teriyaki sauce for a homemade version to control sweetness and saltiness.

  • For a thicker sauce, remove the beef when done and simmer the sauce on the stove until reduced.

Storage

Store leftover teriyaki beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop to avoid drying out the meat. You can also freeze cooked beef for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.

Description

This Slow Cooker Easy Teriyaki Beef recipe offers a simple and flavorful way to prepare tender beef stew meat infused with sweet and savory teriyaki sauce. Perfect for busy days, it combines minimal prep with a hands-off slow cooker method, resulting in a comforting Asian-inspired meal served over rice with vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. cubed beef stew meat
  • 1 cup Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 cup diced white onion

For Serving

  • Toasted sesame seeds (to sprinkle)
  • Sliced green onion (to garnish)
  • Steamed white or brown rice (as base)
  • Broccoli or sugar snap peas (steamed, as a side)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cube the beef stew meat into bite-sized pieces and dice the white onion to ensure even cooking and better flavor infusion.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the cubed beef, diced white onion, and the entire cup of Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 6 hours. The slow cooking will tenderize the beef and allow it to absorb the teriyaki flavors deeply.
  4. Prepare Sides: While the beef is cooking, steam your preferred rice (white or brown) and vegetables such as broccoli or sugar snap peas to serve alongside the beef.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the teriyaki beef over the steamed rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion to add extra flavor and a nice presentation touch.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Substitute beef stew meat with chicken thighs or pork shoulder for variations.
  • Adjust vegetables according to preference or seasonality.
  • Ensure rice is cooked fresh or warmed before serving for best texture.
  • Use low-sodium teriyaki sauce if you want to reduce the salt content.
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
