Crockpot Pepper Steak

This crockpot pepper steak is one of those recipes that feels like you put in way more effort than you actually did. With tender strips of beef, sweet bell peppers, and a deeply flavorful sauce, it’s the kind of dinner that practically cooks itself—and that’s always a win in my book.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs sirloin steak cut into strips
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅔ cup hot water
  • 1 beef bouillon cube

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin strips and sauté until browned on all sides. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the beef bouillon cube in hot water. Whisk in the cornstarch until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the bouillon mixture into the crockpot. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, diced tomatoes, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the chopped onions and browned beef to the crockpot. Stir everything together so the ingredients are well mixed.

  6. About 1 hour before serving, add the sliced bell peppers to the crockpot. Continue cooking on the same heat setting until the peppers are tender.
  7. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
  8. Enjoy!
