Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak or sirloin thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional for thickening
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning the beef, optional

Instructions
 

  • If desired, brown the sliced beef in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance flavor. This step is optional but adds richness.
  • Add the sliced beef, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the Crock Pot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper.
  • Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables in the Crock Pot, stirring to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the pepper steak over steamed rice or with noodles.

Notes

  • You can use any cut of beef that is good for slow cooking, such as round steak or chuck.
  • For extra flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for some heat.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • If you like a more robust sauce, you can add more Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • You can add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, or snow peas, to the Crock Pot for more variety.
  • For a lighter version, use less oil and go easy on the sugar.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.
