   • Pour the sauce mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot.
4. Cook:
   • Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
5. Serve:
   • Give everything a good stir before serving.
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Tips:

• For Extra Flavor: Marinate the steak in the sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
