Notes
What can I use instead of coconut aminos? Coconut aminos is often used as a substitute for soy sauce. You can go with gluten free soy sauce or gluten free tamari sauce if that’s what you have on hand.
What does the sherry do in this recipe? Traditionally, teriyaki sauce is made with sake and mirin rice wines, but rice wine can be fermented with wheat-based yeast so it’s not gluten free. Instead, a little sherry goes well in this dish.
Sherry adds a subtle depth of flavor and helps gently tenderize the beef as it cooks.
Can I skip sautéing the onions and carrots first? You can. Sautéing adds a deeper, slightly caramelized flavor to the dish, but if you’re short on time, you can add everything straight to the slow cooker and still get a really good result.
Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, and it reheats really well. The flavors deepen as it sits, so leftovers are just as good the next day. Store it in the fridge and reheat gently so the meat stays tender.
