Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice it into 2-inch wide pieces to fit comfortably in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and pineapple juice to make the teriyaki sauce.
Place the steak pieces in the crock pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top, ensuring that the meat is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the cooking is complete, remove the steak pieces from the crock pot and set them aside on a cutting board.
To thicken the teriyaki sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the remaining sauce in the crock pot, stirring well.
Turn the crock pot to HIGH and cook the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
While the sauce is thickening, shred the steak into smaller pieces using two forks. Return the shredded steak to the crock pot and coat it with the thickened sauce.
Serve the teriyaki steak over a bed of steamed rice or alongside fresh vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
