Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Place the beef strips, sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic into the crock pot.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Stir until well mixed.
- Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot, making sure everything is evenly coated.
- Cook: Set the crock pot to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking for the remaining time to ensure the sauce thickens and loses any raw cornstarch flavor.
- Season: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Keep in mind that the soy sauce adds saltiness.
- Serve: Serve the pepper steak hot over cooked rice or noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: Serve over white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- For a Spicy Kick: Add some crushed red pepper flakes or a sliced jalapeño to the crock pot before cooking.
