Scott recently requested that I make us pepper steak for dinner. Seeing as how Scott’s diet is primarily made up of burgers, pizza, pasta, and more pizza, I happily make anything for him whenever he requests a home cooked meal.
Growing up, my mom made a great pepper steak and although I could have easily asked her for her recipe, I decided to make my own version!
I’m all about slow cooking meats, so I threw some sliced steak into the slow cooker and used whatever veggies we had on hand that would be appropriate for this pepper steak concoction I was about to create as per Scott’s request!
It turned out amazing, which is why I am sharing it with you today!
It’s simple and one of those meals that you can throw together within minutes, let it cook all day, and then enjoy a delicious veggie packed meal with your family!
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! It’s a perfect meal for this time of year!
