1 lb thin sliced sirloin steak
1 thinly sliced green pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 thinly sliced onion white or red
¼ cup gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Check the label if you're gluten free! You may need to purchase a gf brand.
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
Add sirloin strips and prepared vegetables to the Crock Pot.
Pour soy sauce mixture over top of the meat and vegetable mixture
Cook on low for 4 hour or high for 2 hours.
Serve over rice.

Be sure to trim your meat of any large pieces of fat. Fat brings flavor, but in the Crock-pot, too much of it can turn your “braise” into soup which is not what we're going for here.

If your beef isn't pre-sliced or sliced thinly enough, cut your steak into beef strips, much like you see in restaurant stir-fry. I’d keep them at about ¼”-½” thick. Remember, they’ll shrink a bit as they cook. Buying thin-sliced beef strips at the grocery store is a time-saver here.

Cut your green peppers and onions in the same way and the same size to ensure they cook evenly. I like my veggies to stay a little more on the firm side for meals like this, so I tend to make my strips a little wider than the ones I made with the meat.

This is actually a very versatile slow-cooker pepper steak recipe. The one I’ve chosen is seasoned with more traditional ingredients, but you could change it up for something a little different. Other versions I’ve tried included toasted sesame seeds, honey, lime, pineapple chunks, or even peanut butter if you’d like a little bit of Thai flair for your supper.
