Description

This Slow Cooker Pepper Steak recipe delivers tender strips of flank steak simmered with vibrant bell peppers, onions, and a savory tomato-soy sauce blend. Perfectly suited for a convenient and comforting meal, this dish lets the slow cooker do all the work while you enjoy a flavorful, hearty dinner served over fluffy white rice.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 2 pounds flank steak, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 3-4 tablespoons cornstarch

Vegetables

  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced thick
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced thick
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thick

Liquids & Sauces

  • 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

Seasonings

  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare and coat the steak: Place the sliced flank steak into the slow cooker pot and sprinkle cornstarch on top. Stir thoroughly to coat the meat evenly, which helps thicken the sauce during cooking.
  2. Add vegetables and tomatoes: Layer the sliced green and red bell peppers along with the sliced onion and the can of petite diced tomatoes (with liquid) over the coated steak. For firmer peppers, add them in the last 1-2 hours of cooking instead.
  3. Combine and pour sauce mixture: In a small bowl, mix beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and black pepper. Pour this sauce evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW setting for 6 hours, or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the flank steak is tender and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Once done, serve the pepper steak mixture over cooked white rice for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy your flavorful slow cooker pepper steak!

Notes

  • If you prefer your bell peppers to remain firmer, add them during the last 1-2 hours of cooking rather than at the start.
  • You can substitute beef broth with water if preferred, but broth adds more depth of flavor.
  • Adjust the brown sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Serve immediately over freshly cooked white rice or your preferred grain.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
