Crock pot pepper steak is tender, savory, and full of bold flavor — a classic slow cooker meal that turns simple ingredients into a comforting, takeout-style dinner with minimal effort.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for browning)
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce:
3/4 cup beef broth
1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
Toss the sliced steak with cornstarch until evenly coated.

(Optional) Heat olive oil in a skillet and quickly sear the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side for extra flavor.

Place the steak, bell peppers, onion, and garlic into the crock pot.

In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, and black pepper.

Pour the sauce over the contents of the slow cooker and stir gently.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender.

Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.

Helpful Tips:
Slice steak thinly for tenderness.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt.
For thicker sauce, remove lid during last 30 minutes.
