Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into strips (about 2 inches long)
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder (or more, if you like)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• ¼ cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar

Pepper Steak in a Crock Pot: Instructions

1. Take your beef strips and sprinkle the garlic powder all over them, so every piece gets some flavor.
2. Put the vegetable oil in a big frying pan and heat it up on medium heat.
3. Add the beef strips to the hot pan. Cook them for about 5 minutes on each side, until they turn brown on the outside.
4. Move the browned beef strips into your slow cooker.
5. In a small bowl or cup, mix the bouillon cube with the hot water. Stir it until the cube completely dissolves.
6. Add the cornstarch to that same bowl and stir again until it’s smooth, with no lumps.
7. Pour this liquid mixture over the beef strips in the slow cooker.
8. Add the chopped onion and green peppers on top.
9. Pour in the can of stewed tomatoes, including the juice from the can.
10. Add the soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir everything together gently so it’s all mixed nicely.
11. Put the lid on the slow cooker.
12. Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or if you want, cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is soft and tender.
13. Once it’s done cooking, give it one more stir and serve it warm. It’s great with rice!
