Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds beef round steak cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 bell peppers one green and one red for color, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

Prep the Steak:

  • If the beef round steak isn’t already sliced, slice it into 1/4-inch thick strips. This allows the beef to cook quickly and absorb the flavors better.

Brown the Steak (Optional):

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and quickly sear them on all sides. This step is optional but can add extra flavor to the dish.

Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:

  • Place the browned steak strips into the slow cooker. Add the soy sauce, beef broth, sliced onion, minced garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, and ground ginger. Stir to combine.

Cook:

  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Add Bell Peppers:

  • About 30 minutes before serving, add the bell pepper strips to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and continue cooking until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

Thicken the Sauce:

  • Mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker. Increase the heat to high and continue cooking for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Serve:

  • Serve the pepper steak over cooked rice, ensuring to spoon plenty of the sauce over the top.
