Slow Cooker Pepper Steak

Yield: 6

This recipe slow cooks the beef sirloin into a tender, melt-in-your mouth treat.  It's super-easy and with the summer just around the corner, perfect for your oven-less days. Serve it over cooked egg noodles and pair it with either the Delectus 2002 Oakville, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon or the Martin Ray Winery 1993 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ingredients

Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste.  In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and brown the seasoned beef strips.  Transfer to a slow cooker.

Mix bouillon cube with the hot water until dissolved, then mix in cornstarch until dissolved.  Pour into the slow cooker with the meat.  Stir in onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar and salt.

Cover, and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
