Easiest dinner ever! Slow cooker teriyaki beef takes just minutes to add to the slow cooker.
We love quick and easy Asain-inspired recipes for the slow cooker. It’s cheaper and healthier than take-out. My other favorites are Slow Cooker Pepper Steak, Black Pepper Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, or Teriyaki Chicken.
We love a simple meal to throw in the slow cooker when I just don’t even have time to think about meal planning. This recipe also is great for make-ahead freezer meals.
How to make Easy Teriyaki Beef in the Crockpot:
- Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki – This teriyaki has an authentic taste and isn’t sticky and gloppy like others.
- Beef Stew Meat – You can find this already cut up at the store or you can cut a beef roast into cubes yourself
- Diced white onion – This adds more flavor to the dish and makes the house smell great while cooking.
How long do I cook teriyaki beef?
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
How can I make this a freezer meal?
- This recipe can be put directly in the slow cooker or into ziplock bags and frozen for later in the month. (Can go longer but risk freezer burn flavors)
- Thaw in the fridge the day before you want to cook it. Pour contents into the slow cooker and cook as directed in my recipe card below.
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can use these cuts of beef instead of beef stew meat if desired.
- Flank steak – no need to cube up. Put in whole and shred after the cooking time is up.
- Chuck roast or any other beef roast – Cut into 1-inch cubes
- Steak – Sometimes I have leftover steaks from a value pack and those work great cubed up in this recipe.
- Ground beef – if you only have ground beef you can definitely use it with this recipe. Brown, crumble and drain before continuing with the recipe.

We love this served with brown rice. Very easy to make and I have served it for company several times and everyone wants the recipe.
Is there a good substitute for teriyaki sauce that is sugar free? Diabetic in the house. Thanks for anybody who can answer this.
Some store sell sugar free teriyaki!
G Hughes makes sugar free. Sold at Wal mart. Very good
How about adding raw baby carrots to the pot?
Could you put this on some kind of noodle?
I just make this for my family of 6, it was awesome! My kids ate it all! I used stew meat and added some sesame oil and little bit of soy sauce. Thank you so much!!
Can I use Pork stew meat instead?
Yes! That will work great.
