Slow Cooker Pepper Steak
Description
In this Slow Cooker Pepper Steak recipe, strips of round steak or London broil are coated with flour and seasoned with salt and pepper before being combined with sliced yellow onion, green and red bell peppers, chopped Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a bay leaf. The addition of water, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and white pepper creates a flavorful cooking liquid that tenderizes the meat over long, slow cooking.
The slow cooker method allows the beef to become tender and absorb the mingled flavors, with vegetables softening to a stew-like consistency. The balance of savory, tangy, and mildly spicy notes comes through from the soy sauce and vinegar, complemented by the fresh aromatics.
This dish is traditionally served over rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful juices. For crisper vegetables, they can be added during the last hour of cooking. It is a convenient meal option that requires minimal active work while delivering a satisfying texture and hearty taste.
