Servings: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3-8 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes to 8 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch strips
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 cube beef bouillon (low-sodium or keto-friendly)
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum (as a cornstarch substitute)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

How to Make Keto Crock Pot Pepper Steak

  1. Prepare the Beef:
    Sprinkle the beef sirloin strips with garlic powder, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  2. Sear the Beef:
    Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the beef strips for about 5 minutes per side until browned. This step adds depth of flavor but can be skipped for a quicker preparation. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
  3. Dissolve Bouillon:
    In a separate bowl, mix the bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved. Then, gradually stir in the xanthan gum until fully combined. This mixture will help thicken the sauce.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    Pour the bouillon mixture into the slow cooker with the beef. Add the chopped onion, green bell peppers, diced tomatoes (with liquid), coconut aminos, erythritol, salt, and black pepper if desired.
  5. Cook:
    Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours or on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are melded together.
  6. Serve:
    Stir the pepper steak well before serving. Enjoy over cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.
