Crockpot Pepper Steak

            Have you been searching for a flavor packed recipe that you can throw together in your crock pot? One that is simple to make, is healthy to eat and one that everyone loves? I found that recipe and I am here to share it with you! My husband absolutely loves Pepper Steak. That is what he will order every-time we go out to eat Chinese food. He has since stated that he will have to find something new. He loves this recipe even more than the restaurants!

            When I serve this at home, I make a pot of white rice to go along with this dish. I sometimes make a dinner salad for the side. However, we all get pretty full eating a serving of the Pepper steak.

I can’t speak for your family, but during the school year, I do my best to have meals that are easy to make, quick or the ones that I can prepare and let cook all day in the crockpot.

There is not enough time after school, the sports activities and all else that needs to be done. This dish is unlike any other pepper steak you have tried.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Which cut of beef should I use?

You can use a good sirloin, round steak or even a ribeye. I prefer the ribeye, but sometimes the budget says not this time. Sirloin is just about as good as ribeye.

            How do I store this dish?

To save the leftovers, I place them into an airtight storage container and place in the refrigerator. They are good for up to 3 days.

            Can I freeze this dish?

When cooled down, you should place it into an airtight storage container or a sturdy freezer bag. It will last in the freezer for 3 months.

            What else can I serve with this?

I generally make a pot of white rice, you could use brown rice. Dinner salads are always good, or some roasted vegetables.
