Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak or sirloin thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional for thickening
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning the beef, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If desired, brown the sliced beef in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance flavor. This step is optional but adds richness.
  2. Add the sliced beef, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the Crock Pot.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables in the Crock Pot, stirring to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.
  6. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce about 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the pepper steak over steamed rice or with noodles.

Notes

  • You can use any cut of beef that is good for slow cooking, such as round steak or chuck.
  • For extra flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for some heat.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • If you like a more robust sauce, you can add more Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • You can add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, or snow peas, to the Crock Pot for more variety.
  • For a lighter version, use less oil and go easy on the sugar.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.
