Crockpot Pepper Steak and Rice Recipe:

This slow cooker pepper steak recipe is very easy to make packed with flavor. Our entire family loves this Chinese pepper steak recipe and we have put it on the family favorite rotation list. I think your family will love this easy slow cooker recipe.

Serve over a bed of rice along side a salad and dinner is done. In fact, we make our rice in the Instant pot, so this dinner was crazy easy using my two favorite appliances.

Easy Recipe for Pepper Steak:

I don’t know about you, but our weeknights are so easy during the school year. Between soccer or basketball practice, church, and the kids games or school activities there isn’t a lot of time to cook dinner.

Which is why I tend to just love using the crock pot for an easy weeknight meal. This Crockpot Pepper Steak and Rice Recipe is perfect for those busy nights when you know you won’t have time to cook.

Thanks to this easy beef recipe you don’t have an excuse to make dinner even on the busiest nights.

Ingredients to make crock pot pepper steak: sliced steak, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, sliced onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, ground ginger, garlic powder, pepper and brown sugar.

Ingredients:

  • Beef strips (I used thinly sliced round steaks and sliced them into strips)
  • Green bell pepper, sliced thick
  • Red bell pepper, sliced thick
  • Onion sliced thick
  • Beef Broth
  • Soy sauce
  • Ground ginger
  • Garlic powder
  • Black pepper
  • Brown sugar
  • Cornstarch
  • Cold Water

How to Make Peppered Steak in Crock Pot:

  • Step 1 – Add beef, peppers and onions in crock pot – Place the beef, bell peppers and onions in a slow cooker.
The beef, sliced onions, sliced bell peppers and seasonings in the crock pot.

Step 2 – Season – Add the seasonings, brown sugar, and soy sauce over the beef and peppers.

The beef broth poured over the ingredients int he crock pot.

Step 3 – Add Broth – Pour the beef broth in the crock pot. Stir to combine.

The sliced beef, bell peppers and sliced onions cooked in the crock pot.

Step 4 – Slow Cook – Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or until the steak is cooked through.

Cornstarch and cold water whisk together in a small bowl.

Step 5 – Cornstarch Slurry – Mix together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a cornstarch slurry.

The sauce is in the crock pot thickened and mixed into the beef, peppers and onions.
  • Step 6 – Thicken Sauce – Stir this mixture into the crock pot. Cook on high for 30-60 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Step 7 – Serve and enjoy – Serve over a bed of white rice.

Tips for Easy Pepper Steak Recipe:

  • Steak – Thinly slice the steak in about the same size strips so that it cooks evenly.
  • Peppers – I like to cut the peppers in a large strips so that it doesn’t get mushy while it is cooking.
  • Combining Ingredients – While the steak and peppers are cooking, it is important to allow the ingredients to cook without stirring. I like the steak to remain in strips until it being shredded.
  • Cooking Steak – I like to cook this pepper steak recipe on low so the steak cooks tender.

Can I use a Different Kind of Steak?

Yes, you can different cuts of beef. These are my recommendations:

  • Flank Steak
  • Beef Stew Meat
  • Round Steak
  • Any thinly slice steaks

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Peppers – The recipes calls for green peppers and red peppers. But I have made this with just green bell peppers and it still turned out amazing.
  • Onions – If you are out of fresh onions, you can add in a tablespoon or two of minced dried onions for an easy substitutions.
  • Change the meats – You can easily change the meat to what you have on hand. Cut the meat into strips or leave it as a whole piece.
  • Stir-Fry – Make this crock pot recipe into an easy stir-fry recipe. Cook the ingredients in some olive oil in a skillet or wok for a quick and easy recipe.
  • Bouillon Cubes – We recommend using beef broth, but you can use water and toss in some bouillon cubes for added flavor.
  • Mushrooms – Mushrooms can be added to this pepper steak recipe. If you prefer, you can also cook the mushrooms in a skillet and serve over the top when the recipe is finished cooking.
  • Red Pepper Flakes – Add in red pepper flakes if you prefer your dish to be a bit spicy.
  • Worcestershire Sauce – To add a bit of tangy and deep flavor, you can mix in a tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce.

How to Serve Pepper Steak:

There are many different ways to serve this pepper steak. These are some of my family favorite options:

  • White Rice – I like to make a big batch of rice and freeze it to serve with other recipes.
  • Brown Rice – Brown rice is a delicious side with this pepper steak recipe.
  • Egg Noodles – Cook and prepare egg noodles as indicated on the package. Make sure you serve it with the sauce with the steak and vegetables.
  • Roasted Vegetables – For a low carb option, serve the steak and peppers with a side of roasted vegetables.
  • Quinoa – Quinoa is a high protein option but is an amazing side or delicious served with this crock pot steak.
  • Fried Wonton Recipe – This recipe makes an easy appetizer.

How to Store Leftovers:

We love having this Pepper Steak leftover. The ingredients really marinate together overnight and it taste even better next day. Store in an air tight container for up to 4 days for a delicious lunch the next day.

This recipe is great to meal prep with for the week. Add a side of rice, roasted vegetable and the slow cooker pepper steak.

Can you Freeze Pepper Steak?

Yes, you can freeze pepper steak. Place the leftover pepper steak in a freezer container or a zip lock freezer bag. If stored properly the pepper steak will last about 3 months.

When you are ready to serve again, place in the freezer container in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. Then reheat in the microwave or stovetop until heated thoroughly. Serve with rice and your favorite vegetables.

  1. Carrie Barnard says:

    Thank you so much Vicky! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes!

  2. Vicky says:

    I made this and and it was deelish! I added a few shakes of toasted sesame oil, mushrooms, peppers, and sliced water chestnuts. Next time I’ll double the sauce. I’m enjoying your site.

  3. Carrie Barnard says:

    Either way works. This recipe is very forgiving, and the cornstarch is just to thicken the sauce.

  4. Diana says:

    Want to make tomororw! But confused, AFTER we are done cooking it, then we add the corn starch and cook it another 30 mins OR is it the last 30 mins of crock pot time?

  5. Alan Brown says:

    5 stars
    This came out great. I did however thickened the gravy a little more than your picture. Also I added 5-spice because I don’t always have ginger and brown sugar available. All in all, a success! Plus, it gave me a meal for another day. Using the crock-pot allows you the freedom to make other things in the meantime and it makes the meat so much more tender if you need to use a cheaper cut of meat. Thanks again, this was a keeper!

  6. Carrie Barnard says:

    Yes, you can. If using leftover steak, I would only cook on low in the crock pot for 1-2 hours just to heat the leftover steak through and combine it with the other ingredients.

  7. Melissa FRIZELL says:

    Can I use left over steak for this?

  8. TJ Andrzze says:

    5 stars
    your recipes are always wonderful

  9. Carrie Barnard says:

    So glad everyone enjoyed it!

  10. Sharon says:

    Made this up yesterday left in fridge over night cooked during working hours
    House smelt lovely on return and food was delicious defently doing this one again kids have emptiy plates

  11. William says:

    5 stars
    This one is really good what I did different was I rolled the stew beef in flour and browned it before I put it in the crock pot, makes the meat really tender, And instead using a broth use a brown gravy and a beef gravy packets 1 of each. And I omitted the ginger and cornstarch step.

  12. Anthony Bartolo says:

    5 stars
    Very Good thankyou

  13. Jeff says:

    5 stars
    Always looking for something new

  14. Carrie Barnard says:

  15. Sandy says:

    5 stars
    I made this, this past Saturday for dinner. While my grands picked out the peppers, they loved it and had seconds. My two adult kids also had seconds. So, next time I’ll double the recipe. This was quick, easy, minimal hands on and delicious.

  16. Donna says:

    5 stars
    Just made the pepper steak recipe. Delicious!

  17. Carrie Barnard says:

    You can mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water or broth. Stir together and then stir into the crock pot. Cook on high for about 30 minutes uncovered or until thickened.

  18. Len Blackledge says:

    Iโ€™m making your pepper steak recipe. How can I make the broth a little thicker?

  19. Carrie Barnard says:

    You can actually use either one.

  20. Kat says:

    Good recipe, but in the video you use been STOCK but in the list of ingredients you use beef BROTH- they are similar but still different, so its a tad confusing which one you’re actually supposed to use…

  21. Patty says:

    5 stars
    Such a good recipe! Itโ€™s been one of stand by recipes for a while now. Easy to fix and just let it go in the crockpot. I usually donโ€™t put the peppers and onions in until a couple of hours before itโ€™s finished, that way they donโ€™t get as mushy.

  22. Jean Sutton says:

    My liquick was all very watery? Had to pull out all the liquid and thicken it with cornstarch!

  23. Rog says:

    5 stars
    Thank you so much for your recipes. I really enjoy them. Most of the recipes are easy and don’t require a lot of ingredients. I’m a diehard crockpot user. Keep up the great work!!

  24. Tracey Babcock says:

    I made this yesterday and it was delicious! I used teriyaki sauce because I did not have soy sauce. My husband is very picky and he does not like Asian food, typically, but he loved it! The teriyaki probably made it a little more sweet and a little less salty. I served it over cooked rice. It only took 4-1/2 hrs on low in my crockpot. The meat was very thinly sliced and I used have the meat ( probably about 12 oz). My husband said itโ€™s a home run! It earned a hand written recipe card in my recipe box!

  25. Patricia Galapon says:

  49. Diana says:

    Made this and put over noodles
    Yum

  50. Carrie says:

    Yes, I would cook the roast with the seasoning and leave the peppers out. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Then shred the beef, stir in the peppers and cook on high for 30-60 minutes until the peppers are soft. I hope it works out for your daughter’s birthday and that everyone enjoys it!

  51. Alyse says:

    Is there a way I could make this with a big beef roast for a party/ large mass qty! Would love to make this for my daughters bday!

  52. Carrie says:

    You can leave it out if you don’t care for ginger. It will still taste great!

  53. Debbie says:

    Do you have to use the ginger?

  54. Carrie says:

    You’re welcome Carol – I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe!

  68. Carrie says:

    Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

  69. Katie says:

    5 stars
    Delicious! I didnโ€™t measure my seasonings as I always add more than most recipes call for. Splashed a little extra soy in there as well. It was perfect! For a gravy, I melted 1.5 tbs of butter, stirred in 1/8 cup of flour and cooked on med until it made a thick paste. Then I spooned in a cup or 2 of the liquid from the crock pot. Soooo good yโ€™all!

  70. Carrie says:

    Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ™‚

    You can try doubling the garlic and adding in some salt. Thanks!

  77. nancy says:

    I thought is was a little bland. Any ideas to season it up?

  78. Carrie says:

    Thank you!

  79. Fiona says:

    5 stars
    This is so tasty and incredibly easy to make.

  80. GioLynn says:

    Thank you for sharing your recipe. I found the recipe was easy but too much liquid. I did add cornstarch with water during last hour of cooking but it did not thicken up enough. Flavor was good, vegetables very soft. I will make again but I will add bay leaf or red pepper flakes next time for more flavor and save some vegetables to add at end of cooking.

  81. Carrie says:

    I hope you enjoy it!

  82. Mary Jane says:

    I’m going to try this. Thank you so much for the nutrition information. My husband has late stage kidney disease, and we have to carefully calculate his diet, especially his intake of sodium and potassium. This made it so much easier for me, because I didn’t have to look each ingredient up. From the sound of the recipe, I am giving it 5 stars, untried!

  83. Carrie says:

    I’m so glad you loved it!

  84. Leslie says:

    This is my new favorite dinner to make…I like things spicy so I added some crushed red pepper and instead of measuring the other spices I just sprinkled them in generously. I also added another big spoonful of brown sugar to balance it out. Made it this way a few times now and it is really good!

  85. Jenna says:

    5 stars
    Delicious recipe Carrie, I can literally have rice with any dish. I tried your crock pepper steak recipe and it was very delicious. I had also experimented with something with the dish. Actually, I didn’t have cornstarch so in replacement of that I used arrowroot for thickening the dish and it was a good replacement. I hope it will help anyone. Thanks for sharing.

  86. Marianne says:

    Was the instant pot version ever posted?

  87. Nicole says:

    Is it ok if the steak strips are still a little frozen? Thanks

  88. Carrie says:

    Heidi – Yes, you can use flour or Wondra instead of cornstarch for thickening. I would mix it with the water first so it doesn’t clump in the crock pot. Also, yes, I think that would taste great reheated. My husband loves taking some of this left over for lunch.

  89. Heidi says:

    I am making it right now. I put some peppers in first and I will add more later like you suggested. I am also going to add mushrooms when I add the other peppers so they don’t mush either. I have 2 questions. For thickening can I use flour or Wondra instead of corn starch, and if so do I still need to mix it in with water first? We won’t be able to eat it this evening I am making it for tomorrow night. Will it still taste as good reheated tomorrow? Thanks

  90. Carrie says:

    Yes, you can cook on high for 2-3 hours until it’s cooked through. Thank you.

  91. Carrie says:

    Awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing.

  92. Marjun says:

    5 stars
    I made this because I had an appointment for a scan today and it had to be easy for my husband. It was very good and I am sure I will make it again another time. ??

  93. Danielle St Pierre says:

    Can you cook this on high ???

  94. Carrie says:

    The recipe serves 6 so a serving is 1/6 of the entire recipe. Thank you!

  95. Carrie says:

    I think that the steak might get tough if it’s already cooked for this recipe. If using already cooked steak, I would sautรฉ the other ingredients in a pan on the stovetop until the peppers are cooked to your preference and add in the already cooked steak in for last the 5 minutes of the cooking time. Thank you.

  96. Peg Stewart says:

    Could I slice up already cooked left-over steaks instead of raw steak in this recipe? Thank you for your response.

  97. Carrie says:

    I would probably start with just 1/2 of a teaspoon and then add more if you prefer it to be spicier just to be on the safe side. Thank you!

  98. Kevin says:

    What is the serving size? Not specified in nutrition

  99. Andrea says:

    I’m planning on making this tomorrow. I like my sauces and meats spicy but not too spicy, do you think adding a teaspoon of red pepper flakes would give it some but not much heat?

  100. Carrie says:

    Yes, I think chicken would taste great in this recipe. Thank you!

  101. Sonja Peardon says:

    I have made something similar to this for years. I use round steak, onions & stewed tomatoes in a can. Very good.

  102. Marsha says:

    Can you do this with chicken?

  103. Carrie says:

    Sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing.

  104. Pam Sisk says:

    Just got mine in the crock pot. Was a little late getting started. Iโ€™ve started on high and will lower in a couple hours. I only had red and yellow peppers but pretty much went by your recipe. I added 1/2 of everything again because I had so much meat. All I had were two very thick NY strip steaks. Canโ€™t wait to eat it, smells good already. Will also cook Chinese noodles for hubs and white rice for me and maybe some steamed broccoli. Will review later.

  105. Debra says:

    This is a great recipe made it today and it’s all gone. We served it over rice very delicious thank you for sharing. Will definitely make this again

    I didnโ€™t have green bell peppers so I substituted it for green chili pepper and I didnโ€™t have soy sauce so I substituted it for Worcestershire Sauce
    Instead
    This dish was amazing !! 5 stars for me

  107. Carrie says:

    Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!

  108. Kevin says:

    5 stars
    Iโ€™ve made this a couple times. Easy and delicious. My variations:

    I used elk steak.
    Subbed red pepper with diced tomatoes.
    Added a glob of diced garlic (a glob is four dabs, a dab is four smidgens, a smidgen is whatever the hell you want it to be).

    Making it now and the house smells awesome!

  109. Carrie says:

    I would use low sodium soy sauce and beef broth to lower the sodium count for this recipe. Thank you!

  110. Ellen says:

    5 stars
    Is there a Way to lower to total sodium without compromising flavor. I have Meneiers diseases and require a low salt diet.

  111. Carrie says:

    Yes, I think so. I would just brown the steak and then sautรฉ with all the other ingredients until the steak is cooked through.

  112. Carrie says:

    Thanks for sharing Karen. I’m glad everyone liked it!

  113. Karen says:

    5 stars
    I followed the recipe to the last period. It was delicious. My kids and husband went back for seconds.

  114. Jeanette lyle says:

    5 stars
    Can you cook this on a cooktop?

  115. Carrie says:

    I would double all the ingredients if you plan on doubling the steak amount. Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

  116. Ang says:

    5 stars
    If I double the steak do I double the recipe plus the liquids ?
    What if I wanted to make pan full for patty or get together?

  117. Carrie says:

    Joni – I do not brown it. I hope you love this one. It’s one of my favorites! ๐Ÿ™‚

  118. Joni says:

    Do you brown the meat before putting it in the crockpot?

  119. Caprine Agrotech says:

    4 stars
    Your recipes are great , simple and yummy. They really bring in our intrest into cooking. Love them.

  120. Mary says:

    I saw that someone wanted to know how to thicken it. Just says making it in a dutch oven on top of the stove hey, if your juices are not thinking enough use a teaspoon or a tablespoon of cornstarch mix it with water make a paste and add it to your recipe…( 5 minutes before you serve it) it will thicken

    Can I substitute the steak with ground beef? If so do I brown beef first?

  129. Carrie says:

    For this particular recipe they are cooked really well. Very soft, If your wanting firmer I would add a bit in the beginning for flavor then add some 1.5 hours before finished cooking,

  130. Annie says:

    How soft will the bell pepper and onions be if I cut the bell pepper and onion about 1.5-2 inches thick? I just donโ€™t want them mushy.

  131. Carrie says:

    Yes, you definitely could ad them later if you are wanting them too be firmer. I would ad part in the beginning for flavor while cooking, then ad the rest later. thanks so much

  132. Carrie says:

    Yes, I think that would work out well.

  133. Carrie says:

    So Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the review

  134. Carrie says:

    yes, that should work well .

  135. Carrie says:

    Thawed,

  136. Carrie says:

    Yes, I think that would be great

  137. Jess says:

    Can I make this and then freeze it for later?

  138. Kathy says:

    Can you use a flank steak instead of a round steak?

  139. Tara says:

    Frozen steak or thawed??

  140. Louis mitchell says:

    Wonder if I could double amount?

  141. Elda Mae Toews says:

    We really liked it.but thought it was a little bland .needs more spice.

  142. Nora says:

    Can i double ingredients to serve more

  143. Laurie says:

  146. Lori says:

    Why it it unable to print?

  147. Theresa says:

    Do you brown your meat first? You donโ€™t say in the recipe to brown it first before cooking the 5 hours but your pictures show the beef slices brown.

    Hello.

    What is “low” temperature..in Celsius?

  149. Sue says:

    This is not a cheap meal here. The beef, peppers and rice is expensive here. It might be good but not cheap.

    Very easy recipe. I added broccoli in the last hour. I also gave it a dash of soy sauce and ginger. My advise is season to taste. I highly recommend this recipe.

  152. Susan says:

    Delicious! One of my familyโ€™s favorites!

  153. Diana says:

    Will this work if using stewing beef instead?

  154. Michelle says:

    If I want to make a double batch would I also double the liquid?

  155. Edy says:

    How many people does it serve? I have two teenage boys and my husband. Then my daughter and I who donโ€™t eat a lot. This looks delicious

  156. Ruth says:

    How do you cook this in an instant pot ?

  157. Max says:

    can you cook this on high for 3 hours?

  158. Arlisa says:

    How do I get the sauce like the picture. The picture looks like a red sauce

  159. Sabrina says:

    Do you need to brown the meat first if you just have a regular crock pot?

    I made this the other night. It is delicious and I will be making it again, we had it with rice. I didnโ€™t change anything in the recipe! Itโ€™s a keeper…

  161. Nic520 says:

    How well do the bell peppers hold up at the end of cook time? Are they falling apart or still intact? Would it be OK to add them later during cook time? This looks so good I just want to do it right so my family enjoys it. I dont want the peppers coming out colorless and over cooked.

  162. Melissa says:

    Is it possible to cook this on high to shorten the cook time? ๐Ÿ™‚

  163. Rebecca says:

    I bought the ingredients to make this today but never noticed it was suppose to be done in the crockpot. I guess Iโ€™m going to try and make it on the stovetop. Do you have any suggestions on how to cook it on the stove top?

  164. Lauren says:

    Tasted more like a pot roast than anything.

  165. Sherry Bennett says:

    Does this look easy & delicious. So few ingredients and prep so quick. Thanks. I know we seniors will love it.

  175. Jeff says:

    So I don’t use my slow cooker much. If it cooks for 5 hours then sits in warm mode for anther 4 hours will it hold up?

  176. Jen says:
