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)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice it into 2-inch wide pieces to fit comfortably in the crock pot.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place the steak pieces in the crock pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top, ensuring that the meat is evenly coated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the cooking is complete, remove the steak pieces from the crock pot and set them aside on a cutting board.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Turn the crock pot to HIGH and cook the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
