Instructions
Creating your Crockpot Pepper Steak doesn’t have to be complicated! Just follow these easy steps to bring this crowd-pleaser to life:
1. Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Toss the beef slices in this mixture and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Brown the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and brown them on both sides, about 3-5 minutes. This step is optional but adds great flavor.
3. Prepare the Veggies: While the beef is browning, slice the bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
4. Arrange in the Crockpot: Transfer the browned beef to the crockpot. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic.
5. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
6. Mix Thoroughly: Stir everything well to ensure the spices and liquids are evenly distributed.
7. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender.
8. Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, take 1 tablespoon of the liquid from the crockpot, mix it with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and return it back to the pot. Stir and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes.
9. Prepare for Serving: Once done, serve the Crockpot Pepper Steak over rice or noodles.
