1-Ready to dive into cooking? This Crockpot Pepper Steak Recipe is simple and rewarding, with steps that fit into any schedule. Start by gathering your ingredients, as preparation takes just about 10 minutes. The actual cooking happens in the slow cooker, giving you time to relax.

2-First, thinly slice the 1.5 lbs of beef round steak strips and prepare the vegetables by slicing 1 green bell pepper thick, 1 red bell pepper thick, and half an onion thick. This ensures even cooking and keeps textures just right. Next, in your slow cooker, combine the beef, peppers, and onions with the seasonings, including 1 ½ cups of beef broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

3-Pour the mixture over everything in the cooker and cover it. Let it cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2.5-3 hours until the steak is tender. To finish, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it in, then cook on high for 30-60 minutes to thicken the sauce. Serve it hot over white rice for a complete meal that hits the spot.
