Ingredients

• 2 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 4 count Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 count Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks, about 2-3 inches wide, and trim any excess fat if needed.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

Place the beef chunks into the slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out evenly. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the beef, covering it completely.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours. The beef should be tender and easily pull apart when done.

Step 5

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Set the shredded beef aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the liquid remaining in the slow cooker, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and let the sauce cook and thicken for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the thickened teriyaki sauce until well coated.

Step 9

Serve the slow-cooked teriyaki beef over steamed white rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
