Slow Cooked Pepper Steak

Michelle Nielsen

Once upon a time there was a world without Pinterest and google... As a young mother I looked for recipes from a magazine called "Taste of  Home." I looked forward to receiving it every other month and loved to read it cover to cover and try many of the recipes. (Great preparation for doing a ward cookbook.) It was at that time that I began rating the recipes I made from one to three stars, drawing the stars right next to the title. This has come in very handy over the years to remind me which ones to make again. This recipe has a three star rating and is from my very first "Taste of Home" magazine circa 1995.

1 1/2-2 lbs. beef round steak
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
4 tomatoes, cut into eighths or 1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes w/ liquid, cut up
2 large green peppers, cut into strips
1/2 cup cold water
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
Cooked noodles or rice

Cut beef into 3" x 1" strips; brown in oil in a skillet. Transfer to a slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, and ginger and pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Add tomatoes and green peppers; cook on low for 1 hour longer. Combine cold water and cornstarch to make a paste; stir into liquid in slow cooker and cook on high until thickened. Serve over noodles or rice. Serves 6-8.
