I love Chinese take out and one of the things I like to order sometimes is pepper steak. Pepper steak usually consists of peppers, onions, and well, you get the idea: steak. Spiced Pepper Steak is pepper steak taken to a whole level with a blend of spices and sauces such as ginger, red pepper flakes, tomato, and soy sauce. All of these ingredients work their magic in the crock pot resulting in flavorful and moist soft slices of meat. I find spiced pepper steak is best served with rice. I made some garlicky brown rice in my trusty rice cooker. This meal is quite simple and right to the point. It satisfies one’s tastes buds while filling those hungry bellies!

Spiced Pepper Steak

• 1 pounds beef round sirloin steak, cut into 1/4  inch strips
• 2 tablespoons corn oil
• 1 cube beef bouillon
• 1  cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 large green bell peppers, sliced
• 1 medium spanish onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 teaspoons ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, with liquid
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Cut the sirloin steak into 1/4 inch strips and set aside

Combine soy sauce, garlic, pepper, and ginger in a bowl

Then add the crushed tomato sauce and whisk away

Set the sauce aside. This will be poured over the meat once they are placed in the crock pot.

Mix beef bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then mix in cornstarch until dissolved, set aside

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the corn oil and season the beef strips with some pepper and brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes

immediately transfer the steak strips to the crock pot

Pour the tomato- ginger soy sauce mixture over the meat and then add the onions, green peppers, and a couple of more dashes of soy sauce

Lastly, pour the bouillon mixture and pour over the onions and peppers

Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours. During this time go run some errands, watch a movie, drink some hot cocoa, and relax!

Serve with some garlic-y brown rice! Yum
