Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 3/4 cup hot beef broth
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
For the Pepper Steak:
- 2 lbs beef sirloin strips or sirloin steak, sliced
- 3 large colorful bell peppers, sliced thick
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Make the sauce. Combine hot beef broth, bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch/flour in a mixing glass. Stir well, crushing the bouillon cubes.
- Place beef strips into the slow cooker. Pour sauce on top. Add peppers, onions, and garlic on top of the beef.
- Set to LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. If possible, stir the ingredients halfway through.
- When finished, stir well and transfer to a serving dish. Serve over rice or noodles or as a side with mashed or baked potatoes.
Notes
- While there may not appear to be enough sauce at the beginning, the beef and vegetables will let out a lot of liquid, and you will have more than enough at the end of cooking.
