I decided to use my new slow cooker to bring back a favorite taste from childhood, and I\u2019m really happy with how my Crock Pot Pepper Steak<\/strong> turned out!<\/p>\n

\"Asian<\/figure>\n

One of my fondest memories as a kid was visiting our neighborhood Chinese restaurant each Sunday for lunch. Creature of habit that I am, I ordered the same meal each week: green pepper steak.<\/p>\n

Why does my family need to eat dinner every single night, right? Whether you cook for the joy of it or out of pure necessity, this easy Crock Pot pepper steak recipe will satisfy hungry tummies without sacrificing taste. It\u2019s simple to make and one of my favorite ways to save time on busy weeknights.<\/p>\n

  • Sirloin<\/strong> \u2013 This Green Pepper Steak recipe calls for sirloin. However, nearly any lean or well-trimmed cut of beef will do<\/strong> as long as it\u2019s sliced thin. The thin cut allows the beef to cook more quickly and become more tender.
    \nI have a pretty strict food budget, so I often plan my meals around the yellow-tagged meats I find on the \u201creduced for quick sale\u201d rack.
    \nSince sirloin is a versatile and popular cut, it rarely makes its way onto that particular shelf. If you\u2019re on a budget, a replacement cut in your beef recipes can help save you money.<\/li>\n
  • Onion<\/strong> \u2013 White or red will do.<\/li>\n
  • Ginger<\/strong> \u2013 Freshly grate your own ginger or use ginger paste in a tube from the produce section of your grocery store.<\/li>\n
  • Red Pepper Flakes<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019d like your green pepper steak to be a little more on the spicy side, crush the pepper flakes using a mortar and pestle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • Be sure to trim your meat of any large pieces of fat. Fat brings flavor, but in the Crock-pot, too much of it can turn your \u201cbraise\u201d into soup which is not what we\u2019re going for here.<\/li>\n
      • If your beef isn\u2019t pre-sliced or sliced thinly enough, cut your steak into beef strips, much like you see in restaurant stir-fry. I\u2019d keep them at about \u00bc\u201d-\u00bd\u201d thick. Remember, they\u2019ll shrink a bit as they cook. Buying thin-sliced beef strips at the grocery store is a time-saver here.<\/li>\n
      • Use a slow cooker liner before adding your ingredients to the Crockpot in order to make cleanup a cinch!<\/li>\n
      • Cut your green peppers and onions in the same way and the same size to ensure they cook evenly. I like my veggies to stay a little more on the firm side for meals like this, so I tend to make my strips a little wider than the ones I made with the meat.<\/li>\n
      • This is actually a very versatile slow-cooker pepper steak recipe. The one I\u2019ve chosen is seasoned with more traditional ingredients, but you could change it up for something a little different. Other versions I\u2019ve tried included toasted sesame seeds, honey, lime, pineapple chunks, or even peanut butter if you\u2019d like a little bit of Thai flair for your supper.
