CROCK POT PEPPER STEAK

Step 3: Combine in the Crock Pot

• Place the sliced onions and bell peppers at the bottom of the crock pot.
• Add the beef on top of the vegetables.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper.
• Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.

Step 4: Slow Cook

• Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
• The beef should be tender and the vegetables soft but not mushy.

Step 5: Thicken the Sauce

1. About 30 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry.
2. Stir the slurry into the crock pot.
3. Cover and cook on high for another 20–30 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt or more black pepper if needed.
• For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 7: Serve

• Serve your Crock Pot Pepper Steak over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or even noodles.
• Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color.

Tips for the Best Crock Pot Pepper Steak

• Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or sirloin works best for slow cooking. Avoid very fatty cuts that may become greasy.
• Don’t overcook vegetables: Add delicate vegetables like bell peppers in the last few hours to retain some texture.
• Make it ahead: This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld beautifully.
• Customize your sauce: Add a splash of hoisin or oyster sauce for an Asian twist.
