This scrumptious Slow Cooker Pepper Steak is a great family dinner soup that is also a freezer meal! I prepared this meal in an afternoon when doing twenty crockpot freezer meals for my family's dinners. With end of the school year activities in full swing and summer break coming, I wanted to make a bunch of prep ahead meals that I could make for my family. This is one of the 20 Slow Cooker Freezer Meals in 4 Hours Plan.
So I got busy finding and creating recipes so I could take an afternoon and have meals ready to go for my family. This crockpot recipe was one of the easiest meals out of all the slow cooker meals. I served the delicious, flavorful steak over hot, buttered rice. You could serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes and a nice side salad too. This recipe is naturally gluten free when you use gluten free soy sauce.
This Slow Cooker Pepper Steak is so good and it's an easy freeze slow cooker supper that everyone will love. My whole family loved this complete crockpot dinner meal and they want me to make it again soon! Be sure to make this crockpot freezer meal, you will not be disappointed.
Be sure that you invest in a good quality slow cooker. Our favorite is this programmable cook and carry 6qt oval slow cooker. I hope your family enjoys this slow cooker pepper steak as much as my family did. It is crowd pleaser for sure! Let us know how you like it!

Do you need to pre-cook the beef round steak the night before?
Caroline, UK
Does the beef need to be pre-cooked before depositing it in the slow cooker with the other ingredients?
Dave
Some of the ingredients are listed twice. It's that a typo? BTW, I love this concept!!!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Fixed the error! Thanks for catching that.
Katie
Should this be cooked 5-6 hours or 8 hours on low? Both directions are listed.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
5-6 hours.
Hunter Barnett
Do you slice the beef into small edible bites before you cook?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No, after it is cooked it slices easily.

I have a concern, you have calmed that this recipe and several others are gluten free, but soy sauce has wheat protein in it. If in the recipe you would state gluten free soy sauce is to be used that would be safer. Yes a person who has gluten issues are aware and would use the correct soy sauce, but if someone was just to make this and say give it to a person with gluten issues, that would not be good.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I clearly state that - This recipe is naturally gluten free when you use gluten free soy sauce. I have also updated the recipe card to include as well.

When mentioned to dump the bag in the slow cooker do you mean the freezer bag itself or should I place the items in a slow cooker insert?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Just dump the ingredients into the slow cooker. Never use a freezer bag in the slow cooker. Thanks!
