Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Green bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare all the vegetables by slicing the green and red bell peppers into strips and slicing the onion. Mince the garlic if not already done.
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the beef slices in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side. Do not cook through; this step is just for color and flavor. Transfer to the crock pot.
Layer the sliced bell peppers and onion over the beef in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, mix together the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are softened.
About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Allow the crock pot to continue cooking for another 30 minutes on high, then stir everything together gently.
Serve the pepper steak hot over cooked rice, if desired. Enjoy!
