Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sirloin steak (sliced into ¼-inch strips)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (cored, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced into ¼-inch strips)
- 1 cup white onion (sliced into ¼-inch strips)
- 3 tsp garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp ginger (peeled and minced)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- 2 tsp white sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Add sliced beef to the bottom of a Crock Pot. Then place bell peppers and onion on top.
- In a medium bowl, add remaining ingredients and whisk together until there are no lumps. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
- Serve over white rice and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut Against The Grain. This is the secret to tender pieces of steak!
- Freeze the Beef Slightly. Place the beef in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to cutting. This will firm up the meat and make it easier to thinly slice.
- Time Saving Tips. Make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. Or opt for a jar of store-bought pepper steak sauce.
- Crisp Peppers. If you prefer your peppers crisp-tender, add them in the last hour of cooking to ensure they don't get too mushy.
