My version of Pepper Steak, compiled from several different recipes on the web and adjusted to taste and what I had in the fridge! This is a "runnier" version as opposed to a thicker sauce, it's great for dunking! Nice winter comfort food on a cold day.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
garlic powder (to taste)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 beef bouillon cube
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef strips.
Transfer beef to crock pot.
Crush and mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then stir in cornstarch until dissolved.
Pour into the crock pot with meat.
Add red pepper flakes, onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
Cover, and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
** If you would like to thicken the sauce for gravy, mix 1 TBS cornstarch with some water and stir into crock pot 1/2 hour before complete cooking time.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Sirloin, flank, or skirt steak are all good choices for crock pot pepper steak. These cuts are relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of marbling, which will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
Tenderize the beef: To make the beef even more tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet or marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Brown the beef: Browning the beef before adding it to the crock pot will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side, or you can use the sauté function on your crock pot.
Use a good quality crock pot: A good quality crock pot will cook the beef evenly and prevent it from drying out. Look for a crock pot with a tight-fitting lid and a programmable timer.
Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook the beef on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Crock pot pepper steak is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Simply brown the beef, add it to the crock pot with the other ingredients, and cook until the beef is fall-apart tender. Serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
