How to Make Slow Cooker Pepper Steak Step by Step
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Brown the sliced beef for two minutes on each side before transferring it into the slow cooker.
- Add sliced peppers, onion, and garlic over the beef. Stir gently so the vegetables distribute evenly throughout the cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ginger, beef broth, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on low for six hours or high for four hours.
- Mix cornstarch with two tablespoons cold water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the final thirty minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Slow Cooker Pepper Steak is ready once the beef is fork tender and the sauce becomes glossy. Garnish with parsley before serving over rice or noodles.
