Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets (optional)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
Add the sliced beef and red bell pepper to the crock pot. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the beef and stir to coat evenly.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, if using broccoli florets, add them to the crock pot and stir them into the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the crock pot. Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy!
