Here’s a Crock Pot Teriyaki Steak Bites recipe—tender, flavorful beef pieces in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, perfect for a hands-off meal.
Crock Pot Teriyaki Steak Bites
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) beef steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), cut into 1–2 inch cubes
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
- 2–3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. - Add steak to Crock Pot
Place steak cubes in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat evenly. - Cook
- Low: 4–5 hours
- High: 2–3 hours
Steak should be tender but not falling apart.
- Optional: Thicken sauce
If you want a thicker glaze, remove a few tablespoons of the liquid, mix with cornstarch, then stir back into the Crock Pot and cook 10–15 more minutes. - Serve
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
Tips
- Cut steak into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- For deeper flavor, sear steak briefly in a skillet before adding to the Crock Pot.
- Add bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas in the last 30 minutes for a complete meal.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to control saltiness.
If you want, I can also give a version with a crispy finish—where the slow-cooked steak bites are quickly seared at the end to add caramelized edges while keeping them tender inside.
