Ingredients

Ingredients for Beef Teriyaki:

  • pounds lean top sirloin steak or lean stew meat, cut into small bite-size pieces
  • 1 (21 oz) bottle Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Less Sodium Marinade (use ½ bottle for this recipe) see shopping tips
  • cups onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Ingredients for Broccoli:

  • 1 (14-16 ounce bag) frozen steam in bag broccoli florets, see shopping tips
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions (white part and some of the green)

Instructions

  • Place the pieces of steak in a crock pot. In a medium bowl, mix together ½ bottle of teriyaki sauce, onions, and garlic. Pour over steak pieces. Cover crock-pot and set to low heat. Cook until tender. I cut the beef into very small pieces and it took only 2½ hours to cook on low heat setting. If you use large pieces it can take 3-4 hours.
  • Once beef is cooked, prepare broccoli; Add frozen broccoli to a bowl. Cover and microwave on high heat for 6-7 minutes, until broccoli, is tender-crisp. Drain. Cut in half any broccoli pieces that are too large.
  • Drain any liquid from cooked broccoli. Using a rubber spatula so the broccoli doesn’t break, mix cooked broccoli in with the beef teriyaki.
  • Serve beef, broccoli, and sauce over brown rice, cauliflower rice, steamed shredded cabbage, if desired.
  • Any leftovers freeze great.

Notes

Makes 6 servings. Each serving, 1 cup of beef, broccoli, and sauce.

Shopping Tips

Choose a lean cut of steak or stew meat. I used a package of lean top sirloin cut into very small, bite-size pieces.
Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Less Sodium Marinade can be found in most major supermarkets and Target. Here’s a link to their website to find where to buy it near you. https://www.soyvay.com/products/veri-veri-teriyaki-less-sodium/
I used a 14 oz bag of frozen Birds Eye C&W broccoli florets. I always keep a bag on hand in my freezer. If you don’t want to use frozen, you can use fresh broccoli. Steam it first before adding to cooked teriyaki beef.
