Slow-Cooker Pepper Steak image

Pepper steak is one of my favorite dishes, but sometimes the beef can be tough. This recipe solves that problem! The slow cooker keeps things simple and makes the meat very tender. I've stored leftovers in one big resealable bag and also in individual portions for quick lunches. -Julie Rhine, Zelienople, Pennsylvania
