STEP 5 — Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on:

• Low for 6–7 hours, or
• High for 3–4 hours

The beef becomes tender, the peppers soften beautifully, and the sauce develops deep, savory flavor.

STEP 6 — Thicken the Sauce (Optional but Recommended)

About 20 minutes before serving:

1. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
2. Stir it into the Crock Pot.

This gives the sauce a silky, restaurant-style finish that coats the beef and veggies perfectly.

STEP 7 — Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the pepper steak over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles. The dish is rich enough to stand alone but also pairs well with:

• Steamed broccoli
• Roasted vegetables
• A simple green salad

⭐ Helpful Tips for the Best Pepper Steak

✔ Choose the Right Cut

Sirloin gives the best tenderness, but flank or round steak also works if sliced thinly.

✔ Don’t Skip the Sauce Balance

A little sweetener (honey or sugar) balances the salty soy sauce and savory broth.

✔ Customize the Veggies

Feel free to add:

• Mushrooms
• Snap peas
• Baby corn
• Carrots

🍽️ Why This Recipe Works So Well

The long, gentle cooking time breaks down the beef fibers and allows all the flavors to meld together. The peppers hold their shape without turning mushy, and the sauce becomes rich and glossy—perfect for spooning over rice.

If you’re looking for a homemade dinner that’s easy, comforting, and full of flavor, Crock Pot Pepper Steak is a guaranteed winner!
