Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs (680g) beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced into strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup (120ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water (for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds

 

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef (Optional):
    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot:
    • Add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the bottom of the Crockpot.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and paprika. Pour the mixture over the vegetables in the Crockpot.
  4. Add the Beef:
    • Place the beef strips on top of the vegetables. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  5. Cook:
    • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
  6. Thicken the Sauce:
    • About 30 minutes before serving, stir the cornstarch and water mixture into the Crockpot. Cover and continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the pepper steak over steamed rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

 

Notes

  • You can add extra vegetables like mushrooms or snap peas for more variety.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
