Categories     Main Course

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds sirloin (cut into 2-inch, by ½-inch strips)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil (grapeseed oil, or a different neutral oil)
1 large yellow onion
¼ cup (plus 2 tablespoons water, divided)
2 green bell peppers (cored and cut into ½-inch strips)
2 red, yellow, or orange bell peppers (cored and cut into ½-inch strips)
1 15-ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes in their juices
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (plus additional to taste)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus additional to taste)
5 tablespoons cornstarch (divided)
Prepared brown rice (quinoa or cauliflower rice, for serving)

Steps:

  • Place the beef in a bowl and sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add the beef and cook on all sides until the beef is lightly browned, about 5 minutes (no need to cook it all the way through). Transfer the beef and any cooking juices to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • To the skillet where you were just cooking the beef, add the onions. Increase the heat to high. Carefully pour in 1/4 cup water, stirring to scrape up any browned bits stuck on the pan. Sauté until the onions begin to soften and lightly brown and the liquid has cooked off, about 3 minutes, then transfer the onions to the slow cooker with the beef.
  • To the slow cooker, add the green and red bell peppers (see recipe note) and tomatoes. In a small bowl or a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons cornstarch. Pour into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, until the beef is tender (you can also make this recipe on HIGH, cooking it for 3 to 4 hours, though I find the beef comes out more tender on low heat).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and let cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes to further thicken. The pepper beef will still be saucy, but it should resemble a thick, rich gravy. Stir once more. Taste and add additional salt, soy sauce, and/or red pepper flakes to taste. Serve hot with prepared brown rice and a sprinkle of green onion.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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 meat: For a tender and flavorful pepper steak, use a flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly in the slow cooker.
  • Tenderize the meat: To make the steak even more tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic before cooking.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers: For a more colorful and flavorful dish, use a variety of bell peppers, such as green, red, and yellow.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space in the slow cooker for the meat and vegetables to cook evenly.
  • Cook on low for best results: Cooking the pepper steak on low for 8-10 hours will allow the meat to become tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This crock pot pepper steak with onions recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic comfort food dish. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. Serve this dish over rice or noodles, and enjoy a hearty meal that the whole family will love.
