Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Steak (cut into strips) |
| 1/4 | cup flour |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/8 | teaspoon pepper |
| 1 | onion (sliced) |
| 1 | clove garlic (minced) |

| 1 | can whole tomatoes (undrained) |
| 1 | tablespoon soy sauce |
| 1 | tablespoon Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 | cup rice |
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Begin by cutting the steak into strips, ensuring they’re of uniform size for even cooking.
- In a ziplock bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the steak strips to the bag and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned flour mixture.
-
Assembly:
- Transfer the coated steak strips into the crock-pot (slow cooker).
- Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and sliced green peppers into the crock-pot with the steak. Give it a good stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
-
Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the whole tomatoes (undrained), beef base, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Pour this flavorful sauce mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock-pot.
-
Slow Cooking:
- Cover the crock-pot and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully while tenderizing the steak to perfection.
-
Thickening the Gravy:
- If you prefer a thicker gravy consistency, about an hour before serving, switch the crock-pot to the high setting.
- Prepare a smooth paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of butter (or water). Stir this paste into the crock-pot, ensuring it is well incorporated.
-
Serving:
- Once the pepper steak is done cooking, serve it hot over a bed of fluffy rice. The tender steak, flavorful vegetables, and savory gravy are sure to delight your taste buds.
