My version of Pepper Steak, compiled from several different recipes on the web and adjusted to taste and what I had in the fridge! This is a "runnier" version as opposed to a thicker sauce, it's great for dunking! Nice winter comfort food on a cold day.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Ingredients

2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
garlic powder (to taste)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 beef bouillon cube
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef strips.
Transfer beef to crock pot.
Crush and mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then stir in cornstarch until dissolved.
Pour into the crock pot with meat.
Add red pepper flakes, onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
Cover, and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
** If you would like to thicken the sauce for gravy, mix 1 TBS cornstarch with some water and stir into crock pot 1/2 hour before complete cooking time.

Tips:

Tenderize the Steak: For extra tender steak, use a meat mallet to pound the steak pieces before cooking. This helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger enhances the beef's flavor and makes it more succulent.
Sear the Steak: Before adding the steak to the slow cooker, sear it quickly in a hot skillet. This creates a nice caramelized crust that locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor.
Brown the Peppers and Onions: Sautéing the peppers and onions before adding them to the slow cooker gives them a slightly caramelized flavor that complements the steak.
Use a Variety of Peppers: Feel free to mix and match different colored bell peppers for a more vibrant and flavorful dish.
Add Some Spice: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeño to the slow cooker.
Serve with Rice or Noodles: Crock-Pot pepper steak pairs well with both rice and noodles. Choose your favorite grain and serve it alongside the tender steak and flavorful sauce.
