    Yummy!!!! I can’t eat food with tiny seeds or nuts, so I used Mr. Yoshida Sauce and 1/4 cup sherry.

    Made this for the first time and it was deeelicious! Wife gave it 5 thumbs up! This is going on my favorite recipe list. The only thing I did differently was I browned the beef lightly before adding to the slow cooker. It added some additional flavor to the beef. Served with long grain white rice and steamed green beans. No leftovers here!

  9. Kristina Short says:

    I cant find the soy sauce anywhere is there another I can use

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You really can use any teriyaki! Just keep on eye on it for some can burn on the edges.

    2. Pat says:

      Amazon carries it.

    Made this last night with the following
    4lb beef chuck roast
    1 cup Lawry’s teriyaki marinade (made with pineapple juice)
    8 oz crushed pineapple
    8 shakes of smoke

    cooked low for 8 hours.
    Served beef by itself (no noodles/rice) tossed out liquid leftovers
    Due to the notes above of salt, that is why i choose to reduce the pineapple and marinade.

    result- delicious & was asked to make again

    Came out perfect, with requests for future showings in the dinner menu.
