Ingredients
Slow Cooker Pepper Steak – 5-Ingredient
-
2 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, cut into thin slices.
-
2 large bell peppers (any color), cut in strips.
-
1 medium onion, sliced (not essential, but it is recommended in case your family does like onion)
-
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
-
1/2 cup beef broth
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 cup flour (tapioca powder may also be used instead of cornstarch) 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, to thicken at the end)
-
Served rice or noodles, not part of the 5 main ingredients.
Slow Cooker Pepper Steak: Directions
-
Add the pieces of beef that you have cut in the bottom of your slow cooker.
-
Arrange the cut bell pepper and onion (in case of its use) on top of the beef.
-
Whisk the soy sauce, beef broth and brown sugar in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved to a large extent.
-
Evenly pour the mixture of the sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
-
Bake and cover in LOW 6-8 hours or bake in HIGH 3-4 hours until the beef is extremely tender and the peppers are tender.
-
To achieve a thicker sauce, 20 minutes to serve, take the cold water (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) and whisk the cornstarch with the cold water to form a slurry. Add it to the slow cooker, stir and cover but continue cooking on HIGH another 15-20 minutes till the sauce is thick.
-
Add flavor and season accordingly (adding a splash of more soy sauce or pinch of brown sugar may be required).
-
Cut the pepper steak, and place it on hot cooked rice or noodles, and pour some of the additional sauce over it.
