Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 lbs beef sirloin strips (or sirloin steak cut into slices)

Vegetables

  • 3 large colorful bell peppers (sliced thick)
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup beef broth (hot)
  • 3 beef bouillon cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (or flour)

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a mixing glass, combine the hot beef broth, beef bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch or flour. Stir thoroughly until the bouillon cubes are crushed and the mixture is well blended.
  2. Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker: Place the beef strips at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the beef. Then add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic on top of the beef and sauce.
  3. Cook the pepper steak: Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 6 hours, or alternatively set to HIGH for 3 hours. If possible, stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
  4. Finish and serve: When the cooking time is complete, stir the ingredients well. Transfer the pepper steak to a serving dish and serve hot over rice, noodles, or alongside mashed or baked potatoes for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute cornstarch with all-purpose flour to thicken the sauce.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or chopped fresh chili peppers.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure soy sauce is gluten-free or use tamari.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
  • Beef sirloin strips can be replaced with flank steak or skirt steak for similar results.
