I made this Easy Crock Pot Pepper Steak recipe for dinner the other day and decided I needed to share it with you again.
We could call this homemade pepper steak recipe a cheater Pepper Steak recipe but I'll tell you all about that in a minute. You won't believe how easy it is to make this way!
Pepper Steak
Pepper Steak is a relatively easy recipe to make. There isn't a long list of ingredients. But there is a very tedious step you usually need to do before you can even start cooking pepper steak.
To make pepper steak you have to slice up the meat into small bite-size pieces. If there is one thing I hate to do it is stand at the kitchen counter cutting meat into small bite-size pieces.
I have a pretty large family so when I make a meal like pepper steak I have to cut a lot of meat.
I mentioned that my Crock Pot Pepper Steak recipe could be considered a cheater Pepper Steak recipe because instead of slicing up a big piece of steak into small bite-size pieces I used stew meat instead! I didn't have to cut all that meat up and it cut so much time off of this crock pot recipe.
Stew meat is perfect to use to make Pepper Steak. Stew meat cooked in the crock pot comes out so tender and is already cut up into bite-size pieces.

This looks really good and I love the idea of using stew meat because I have a family if four and steak can be expensive sometime. Great recipe!

Looks good. I might be being silly, but what is pepper stir fry mix, do you mean a mix of peppers and onions?
