Slow Cooker Pepper Steak Recpie! An easy, healthy & delicious dinner recipe for busy days! Toss the ingredients in in the slow cooker and let it do the work for you! It’s gluten-free, grain-free, paleo-friendly and SO delicious!
My love for slow-cooked meals runs deep. I am the kind of person who likes my meat tender and bursting with flavor….and {in my opinion} low and slow is the best method for achieving these results.
It’s also imperative to me that meat tastes like something other than meat. You know what I mean? I want every square millimeter to be fully infiltrated with flavor. This Slow Cooker Sirloin Steak recipe totally fits all of these criteria {and more}! I have been making this dish since Ritch and I got married close to 10 years ago {woah} and it’s still a favorite in our house to this day.
I’m sure all of you wonderful ladies and gents always have your eyes peeled for delicious, easy & healthy meals that your family will enjoy too. Because let’s face it, kale & quinoa salads don’t even make the list of the top 100 most requested meals by my other family members. {whomp whomp}.
However, this Slow Cooker Pepper Steak is on my husband’s “short list” of dinner requests. Lucky for me, it takes very minimal work and just a handful of ingredients to make it too!
How to make Slow Cooker Pepper Steak:
This slow cooker sirloin steak is SO easy to make. Add most of your ingredients into your slow cooker and let the magic happen.
Don’t overcook the peppers!
The only thing to note is that it’s important not to overcook the peppers. Adding the peppers in the last hour of cooking ensures that they will retain their shape and flavor when the dish is complete!
Serving suggestions:
Serve on top of rice or egg noodles for a delicious dinner!
Slow Cooker Pepper Steak: Substitutions
- Stewed Tomatoes: . You may substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes if you are in a bind.
- Peppers: Feel free to use any color or variety of bell pepper that you would like!
- Honey: There is only 1 tsp in this recipe because it brings out the flavor of the tomatoes. Feel free to use regular granulated sugar or omit completely if necessary.
- Beef Broth: You can make your own beef broth or use bullion and water to achieve the same results!

My mom used to make Pepper Steak. But it didn’t look like this! I’d forgotten about her recipe (with rather good intent.) But I’ll be trying this one!
Laura
LOL Serena! This recipe is beloved by my whole family!

We love stir fry, and this looks so so delicious Laura; putting anything on rice (especially Oriental themed food) is my absolute favorite kind of meal.
