Crockpot Pepper Steak

I found this in a magazine long ago and it’s also found now on the web in several sites. It’s very good – use mixed peppers for the prettiest end result. I usually double this – leftovers don’t last long though.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak, 1 inch thick, cut in 3″ strips
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed and minced
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 can (14.5 to 16 ounces) tomatoes, cut up, undrained
• 2 large bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Place beef strips in crockpot. Combine oil, soy sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper, and ginger; pour over beef. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until meat is tender. Add tomatoes and green peppers; cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour longer. Combine the cold water and cornstarch to make a paste; stir into liquid in slow cooker and cook on high until thickened. Serve over noodles or rice.
