Slow Cooker Teriyaki Steaks
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Steaks are cooked low and slow in a homemade teriyaki sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. The result is tender, flavorful beef and a rich sauce that's perfect for spooning over your favorite side.

Notes
If you want to use regular soy sauce (not low sodium), substitute 1/4 cup of it with water.
If your sauce isn't thick enough, add another cornstarch slurry and let it cook 10 minutes more on high.
For the best safety practices, I recommend not using frozen steaks in this recipe.
