Crock Pot Pepper Steak

Step 1

Heat up vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. You want to get that oil heated up. It should be screaming hot.

Step 2

Season strips of beef with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Carefully place half the beef strips into hot pan. Brown beef strips on both sides. They should be sizzling when you put them in the pan. It should only take about a minute per side. Do not cook through, just brown the outside.

Continue with the other half of the beef strips. Once they are all browned, transfer beef to crock pot.

Step 5

In a small bowl, crush and mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved. Then stir in cornstarch until dissolved. Pour this slurry into the crock pot with the beef.

Step 6

Add stewed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, Teriyaki (or soy) sauce and sugar.

Step 7

Give it all a quick stir. Then cover and cook on on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Step 8

During the last hour of cooking, add in the sliced peppers and onions. Cover and cook for additional hour. Then serve.
