How To Make Crock Pot Pepper Steak:

Step 1: Prep Meat: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and seasoned salt. Coat the 16 oz beef stew meat completely in this mixture.

Step 2: Brown Meat and Peppers: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the coated meat, 1 tsp minced garlic, and the bell peppers (cut into strips). Cook over medium-high heat until the meat starts to brown on the outside.

Step 3: Transfer to Crock Pot: Remove the meat and peppers from the skillet and place them into a slow cooker (crock pot) that is lined or prepped, leaving the grease/drippings behind in the skillet. Stir in the 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (included for flavor, as it was listed in ingredients but missed in instructions).

Step 4: Make Gravy: In the same skillet where you cooked the meat and drippings remain, add the 1 can stewed tomatoes with their juice and the 1 can of beef broth. Bring to a simmer. Gradually add the remaining flour (if any was left from coating, or use extra) while stirring until the mixture thickens slightly to form a gravy.

Step 5: Cook: Pour the gravy over the meat and peppers in the slow cooker. Cook covered on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is very tender.
