Slow Cooker Pepper Steak
This comforting Slow Cooker Pepper Steak is the easy, hearty dinner that practically cooks itself! Tender strips of beef sirloin mingle with colorful bell peppers and a savory, slightly sweet sauce. Perfect for busy days when you want a warm meal waiting for you at home.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef sirloin cut into strips or chunks
- 1 onion diced or sliced
- 3 bell peppers sliced, any color combination
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 3 beef bouillon cubes crumbled
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp ground ginger or fresh grated ginger
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp cornstarch plus extra if needed for thickening
Instructions
- Place the beef strips in the bottom of your slow cooker. Top with diced onion and sliced bell peppers, nestling them around the beef.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together minced garlic, beef broth, crumbled bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
- If the sauce needs thickening, mix a little extra cornstarch with cold water, stir it into the slow cooker, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until thickened.
- Serve warm over hot rice or noodles. Enjoy the cozy flavors!
Notes
Leftovers keep beautifully in the fridge for a couple of days — the flavors get even better! Serve with extra veggies or a sprinkle of fresh green onions if you’d like.
