Description

This slow cooker pepper steak is rich, savory, and incredibly tender. The beef slowly absorbs the umami-packed sauce
while the bell peppers soften and add a subtle sweetness. With only five ingredients, the flavors stay simple,
bold, and perfectly balanced—making this dish ideal for family dinners or meal prep.

Tips

• Slice beef against the grain to keep it tender.
• Use a mix of red and green peppers for deeper flavor.
• For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes.

Correction (Common Mistakes & Fixes)

• Beef too tough: Cook longer on LOW instead of HIGH.
• Too salty: Use low-sodium soy sauce or dilute with extra broth.
• Sauce too thin: Remove the lid during the final 20 minutes or thicken with cornstarch.
