Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Method
- For deeper flavour, sear the 1 1/2 lb sliced flank steak in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes before it goes into the slow cooker for this pepper steak.
- Layer the seared beef, the sliced green and red bell peppers, the sliced large onion and the 2 minced garlic cloves in the slow cooker crock.
- Whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a small bowl and pour that pepper steak sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring once to coat everything.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook the pepper steak on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef strips are completely tender.
- Stir 1 tbsp cornstarch into 2 tbsp water, pour the slurry into the crock about 30 minutes before the end, and let the pepper steak sauce thicken around the peppers.
- Stir the 1 tsp sesame oil through the finished pepper steak just before ladling it out of the crock.
