This pepper steak recipe will probably be one of your new favorite recipes for the Crock Pot! I cut a sirloin roast into small strips for this, but sirloin steak could be used as well. It was so quick to prepare and I just tested it for dinner and it tastes amazing! I served this over brown rice with sauteed broccoli on the side. This is good stuff that your family will enjoy! Make a little extra for prepping meals for later too!
Here's what you need: ( to serve 4)
1 1/2 to 2 lbs sirloin steak or roast
2 T olive oil
1 large onion sliced
2 green bell peppers sliced
1/4 cup lower sodium soy sauce
1 garlic clove minced
1 t honey
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground ginger
1/4 t black pepper
1/2 t sesame oil
1 can diced tomatoes drained (14 1/2 oz)
1 T cornstarch
Cooked whole grain brown rice to serve ( you could also serve this with noodles)
Slice the steak or roast into strips about 3 inch x 1 inch. Brown the steak in a large skillet in the olive oil. Place the beef strips in the Crock Pot. In a bowl mix together the soy sauce,ginger, garlic, honey, salt, pepper, sesame oil and sliced onion. Pour this mixture over the beef and stir a little to mix. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours ( or about 6 hours on low). Add the tomatoes and the sliced peppers and cook about one more hour or until the peppers are tender. Mix the cornstarch with about 1/2 cup cold water and stir this into the hot steak and pepper mixture. Allow this to thicken a little. Serve this over rice or noodles if desired. Enjoy!
