I originally got this recipe from Allrecipes.com and have switched it up a bit over the years to make it perfect for *me*.

How do you store Crockpot Pepper Steak?

To store Crockpot Pepper Steak, it is important to cool the dish before storing. If you are not eating the steak right away, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to four days. When reheating the steak, make sure that it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure your steak stays moist and flavorful, try to not reheat it more than once.

If you need to store the steak for a longer period of time, freeze it in a freezer-safe container or wrap. The steak can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat from frozen, let the steak thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then heat in the microwave or oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. 

For food safety, it is important to never reheat cooked food more than once. Make sure that you cool and store your Crockpot Pepper Steak properly in order to maintain food safety standards. Proper storage will also help keep your steak moist and flavorful.

Why use a slow cooker to make pepper steak?

Slow cookers are a great way to turn tougher cuts of meat into delicious, tender meals. This method of cooking also locks in flavor and helps you save time by allowing the steak to slowly simmer until it’s finished. Plus, slow cookers use less energy than stovetop or oven cooking methods! So get out your crockpot and give this delicious pepper steak recipe a try!

What is good to serve pepper steak with?

Pepper steak is delicious served over rice or noodles, with a side of steamed vegetables. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes, French fries, sautéed onions and peppers, or a tossed salad. If you’re feeling creative, you can even top the steak with melted cheese for an extra cheesy kick!

When cooking steak in a slow cooker, it’s important to keep the heat low and cook the meat for a longer period of time. This will ensure that your steak is cooked evenly throughout without becoming dry or tough.

Additionally, you should make sure to check the internal temperature of the steak before serving to make sure it has reached at least 145°F. Finally, don’t forget to stir the steak every few hours while it’s cooking so that all sides get an even amount of heat.
