Savor tender slow cooker pepper steak smothered in rich onion gravy. Perfect comfort food for busy weeknights. Easy, delicious, and satisfying!
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 pounds of beef steak (such as flank or sirloin), sliced thinly against the grain
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced thinly
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup of beef broth or stock
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by slicing your beef steak thinly against the grain. This technique ensures tender slices that absorb the flavors of the gravy beautifully.
Step 2: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef slices in batches for about 2-3 minutes until browned. This step enhances the meat’s flavor and texture.
Step 3: Add the seared beef to your slow cooker. Layer the sliced onion and bell pepper on top, followed by the beef broth, soy sauce, garlic powder, brown sugar, and seasonings. Stir gently to mix.
Step 4: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The long cooking time allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become incredibly tender.
Step 5: Once the cooking time is over, remove the lid and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6: Serve your Pepper Steak over a bed of steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or even noodles! Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch.
Notes
