Crockpot Pepper Steak
Crockpot pepper steak is a cozy takeout-inspired dinner made with tender beef, bell peppers, onions, and a rich savory sauce. Everything slow cooks together until the beef is flavorful and the sauce turns thick and glossy. Perfect for spooning over rice!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 3-4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 large green bell pepper sliced thick
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced thick
- 1 medium onion sliced thick
- 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes with liquid
- ½ cup beef broth or water
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar to desired sweetness
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the sliced flank steak to the slow cooker, then sprinkle the cornstarch over the top. Toss everything together so the beef gets evenly coated.
- Layer the bell peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes over the steak. If you prefer your peppers with a little more bite, wait and add them during the last 1–2 hours of cooking instead.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over everything in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the beef is tender and packed with flavor.
- Serve it over rice with plenty of extra sauce spooned on top.
