Slow Cooking Thursday: Pepper Steak

slowcooking

I made this for dinner the other night and even the boys ate it (minus the peppers), so I consider it a success! A couple notes: I only used 1 pepper and thought it was enough, but if you really like peppers, you can certainly add more. Also, I did not have cornstarch so I substituted Wondra and it worked perfectly!
