Crockpot Pepper Steak is an effortless, hands-off meal that’s packed with flavor and perfect for a comforting dinner. Inspired by Chinese cuisine, this dish features tender beef strips simmered in a savory sauce with colorful bell peppers and onions. It’s a favorite when served over rice, noodles, or even alongside mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef sirloin strips or sirloin steak, sliced
- 3 large bell peppers, sliced thick (use a mix of colors for variety)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup beef broth
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the hot beef broth, crushed bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch or flour. Stir well until the bouillon cubes are fully dissolved.
- Layer the slow cooker: Add the beef strips to the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, then layer the sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic on top.
- Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. If possible, stir the ingredients halfway through cooking to ensure even flavor distribution.
