Here’s a simple recipe for Crockpot Pepper Steak:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef steak (such as flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in batches and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
- Once the sauce has thickened, serve the crockpot pepper steak over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and flavorful crockpot pepper steak!
