Instructions

Trim the meat if needed and cut into small pieces. Place the meat in the slow cooker. Then throw in the rest of the ingredients and roughly stir.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3.5 hours.
To thicken the sauce, take a ladle of the sauce and whisk it together with the cornstarch in a small sauce pan. Cook on low until the sauce thickens, then throw it back in the slow cooker and stir so that it all combines well.
Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with some chopped onions or parsley and some sesame seeds.

Notes

While beef tenderloin is recommended for its tenderness, feel free to swap it out for other cuts like flank steak or sirloin if it’s what you have on hand. Just remember, the more marbled the meat, the more flavorful and tender your pepper steak will be!
Beef Choice: While beef tenderloin is recommended for its tenderness, feel free to swap it out for other cuts like flank steak or sirloin if it’s what you have on hand. Just remember, the more marbled the meat, the more flavorful and tender your pepper steak will be!
No salt is listed as an ingredient in this recipe because I find that the teriyaki sauce and beef broth together provide enough saltiness but if you want, feel free to add more as needed.
Veggies Variations: You can customize the vegetables to your liking! Try adding mushrooms, snap peas, or broccoli for a different flavor and texture twist.
Spice It Up: The Sriracha sauce adds a subtle kick. If you're keen on more heat, consider doubling the amount or tossing in some red pepper flakes!
Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with various bases - think beyond rice! Consider trying it with noodles, quinoa, or a bed of steamed veggies for a lighter option.
Gluten-Free Option: Ensure your teriyaki sauce is gluten-free, or substitute with a homemade version to keep things celiac-friendly!
Vegan Swap: For a vegan variant, use a meat substitute and opt for a vegan cheese. Adjust the cooking time as per the substitute’s package instructions.
