How To Make Teriyaki Slaw In The Crockpot

Slow Cooker

1. Add beef to the slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce ingredients. Pour sauce on top of beef. Stir to mix well.
3. Cook HIGH 2-3 hours or LOW 4-6.
4. Stir in coleslaw. Cook an additional 15-30 minutes or until coleslaw has softened to your liking.

Instant Pot

1. Turn on the pressure cooker and select sauté. Once hot, add oil to the pot. Add the beef and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes. Remove beef and set aside. Turn off the Instant Pot.
2. In a small bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce into the pressure cooker and deglaze the bottom by scraping all the bits off with a wooden spoon.
3. Add beef back to the Instant Pot. Stir to mix well. Add coleslaw on top. Do not stir.
4. Close lid and seal valve. Set manual high pressure to 0 minutes. Yes, 0 as in zero cook time.
5. When cook time is up, quick release the pressure. Stir & serve.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

This crockpot teriyaki beef slaw recipe is what I refer to as the trifecta: low-carb, paleo and Whole30 compatible. To achieve this, I removed ingredients that are normally a teriyaki sauce. Mainly there’s no sugar. I honestly do not think the sauce needs sugar however you can add sweetener that fits your lifestyle. This can be sugar, honey, maple syrup, or stevia. If you’re following Whole3o, you will need to omit a sweetener to stay complaint.

What Type Of Beef To Use

I used a 2 pounds of flank steak that I sliced into strips. The beauty of this teriyaki slaw recipe is that you can use your preferred cut of beef. If not flank steak, other suggestions include sirloin, flat iron, or even beef stew meat. You can substitute chicken or pork instead of beef if you like; the concept stays the same, just swap in a different protein.

Using Coleslaw

This teriyaki beef slaw recipe calls for 16 ounces of packaged coleslaw. You should be able to find packed coleslaw at your local grocery. Of course you can always make your own. Keep in mind that coleslaw will reduce as it cooks. Similar to spinach but not as much. 

Cooking This In Instant Pot

The cook time in the pressure cooker for this recipe is 0 (zero) minutes. No, that’s not a typo you read that correctly. You can set your time to 0. It will still take a few minutes to pressurize but otherwise, this cooks quickly in the Instant Pot.

FAQs & Tips

• Store leftover teriyaki beef slaw in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing. 
• I used a  3.5-quart slow cooker or pressure cooker for this recipe. If you have a 6-quart slow cooker or Instant Pot, you can double the recipe to feed a larger crowd.
• Add your favorite vegetables to this like bell peppers, onion, chopped broccoli.
