Rachel's Pepper Steak

Okay friends, this recipe comes to you compliments of my friend and great cook! I should probably have asked her if I could share it, but seeing as she shares it freely, I'm going to assume it's not a secret family recipe :) Another great meal from the crock pot, check it out...


Rachel's Pepper Steak

Ingredients:
-2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
-1 tsp garlic powder
-3 Tbs olive oil
-1 Tbs of Better than Beef Bouillon (or 1 cube of beef bouillon)
-1/4 c hot water
-1 Tbs cornstarch
-1/2 c onion, chopped
-3 peppers, chopped*
-1 (14.5oz) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
-3 Tbs soy sauce
-1 tsp white sugar
-1 tsp salt

1. Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder. In a large skillet over medium het, heat the oil and brown the seasoned beef strips. Drain and transfer to crock pot.
2. Mix bouillon with hot water until dissolved, then mix in the cornstarch until dissolved. Pour into the crock pot with the meat.
3. Add onion, peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. (I had some mushrooms that had to be used up so I added those in as well and it was tasty.)
4. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 8 hours.

Serve over rice or quinoa.

*The recipe calls for 1 green, 1 yellow, and 1 red. I only had red on hand and it was great, but the 3 different colors would have made for a prettier presentation!!
