Pepper steak is traditionally a dish that is stir-fried but surprisingly works pretty well in the slow cooker. This version features sliced bell peppers, slices of beef and thick slices of onion. This combination is all cooked in a sauce that has soy, tomatoes, beef stock and a combination of other ingredients. To ensure the sauce is nice and thick we make use of some cornstarch.
Ingredients:
1kg (2 lb) beef, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, thick slices
1 green bell pepper, thick slices
1 onion, chopped, thick slices
Sauce
1 beef bouillon cube
¼ cup light soy sauce
½ tsp. ginger, minced
1 tsp. garlic, crushed
¼ tsp. black pepper
400g (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes
2 tsp. brown sugar
¼ cup boiling water
To Thicken:
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. water
Instructions:
In a frypan over high heat, quickly brown the beef strips.
In a small bowl, mix together the boiling water and the beef bouillon cube. Stir until completely dissolved.
Next, in the slow cooker, add the beef, bell peppers, onion, beef bouillon mix, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, black pepper, crushed tomatoes, and the brown sugar, mix slightly together.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until beef is deliciously tender.
To thicken, mix the cornstarch and the water together until it forms a paste. Mix this into the slow cooker, cook for 15 minutes or until thickened.
Serve & Enjoy
