🥩 Crockpot Pepper Steak with Bell Peppers & Onions Tender strips of beef slow-cooked with colorful bell peppers and onions in a rich, savory brown sauce. This easy slow cooker pepper steak is perfect served over fluffy white rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. 🛒 Ingredients 2 lbs beef sirloin or chuck steak, cut into thin strips 1 green bell pepper, sliced 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 medium onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup beef broth ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp cornstarch 2 tbsp cold water 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp paprika 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp sesame seeds, optional 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish 🍳 Instructions 1. Season the beef: Toss the sliced steak with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. 2. Optional sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side. This adds extra flavor but can be skipped. 3. Load the slow cooker: Place the beef, sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot. 4. Make the sauce: Whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Pour over the beef and vegetables. 5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or until the beef is tender. Avoid overcooking thinly sliced beef. 6. Thicken the sauce: Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir it into the crockpot during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking. Cover and allow the sauce to thicken. 7. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. 8. Serve: Spoon the pepper steak and vegetables over hot rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. Spoon plenty of that savory sauce over the top! ⭐ Tips Slice the beef against the grain for more tender pieces. For a thicker, glossy sauce, don't skip the cornstarch slurry. Add mushrooms for extra flavor. For a little heat, add crushed red pepper flakes.
