Pepper Steak in Crockpot
Let your crockpot do the heavy lifting—this savory pepper steak slow-cooks all day for fork-tender results every time. My husband and I were discussing gravy and this recipe came to mind. It makes its own gravy. We served it at our last get-together and it was a big hit.

Ingredients
- Salt and pepper (for pounding steak)
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 2½ lb top round steak
- 1 cup flour
- 2 bell peppers (sliced ¼ inch)
- 1 yellow onion (sliced ¼ inch)
- 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes
- 2 Tbs Better Than Bouillon beef base
- 2 Tbs soy sauce
- 2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Directions
- Salt and pepper each side of the steak and pound with a meat tenderizer.
- Cut steaks into ¼-inch slices.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and brown the meat in batches, transferring each batch to the crockpot. (You can skip browning if needed, but it adds flavor.)
- Add flour to the meat in the crockpot and stir until completely coated.
- Add onion and peppers; toss with the meat and flour.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, beef bouillon, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. (It may not all mix right away—that's OK. Stir again a few times as it cooks and after it softens.)
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Serve over rice or potatoes.
