Crockpot Pepper Steak Recipe
Description
The recipe layers beef strips, bell peppers, and onions in a slow cooker, topped with a mixture of beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. The mixture cooks on low for 5-6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. Toward the end, a cornstarch and cold water slurry is stirred in to thicken the sauce during the final 30-60 minutes of cooking.
The finished pepper steak has tender meat and soft vegetables coated in a flavorful, slightly sweet and savory sauce. It's designed to be served over white rice, which soaks up the sauce and complements the dish's textures.
For firmer peppers, add them later in the cooking process—stirring them in for the last hour on low or 30 minutes on high—depending on your preferred texture.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs round steak (cut into thin strips)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced thick)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced thick)
- 1/2 onion (sliced thick)
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water cold
Instructions
- Place the beef, bell peppers and onions in a slow cooker.
- Add the seasonings, brown sugar, and soy sauce over the beef and peppers.
- Pour the beef broth in the crock pot.
- Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2.5-3 hours until the steak is cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water.

Notes
- For firmer peppers, add them in the last hour of cooking on low or last 30 minutes on high instead of at the beginning.
