Green Pepper Steak – Crock Pot

For years, I have made pepper steak in the crock pot and each time, I make changes to the recipe.  Actually, I usually do not use a recipe.  I know what I have done in the past and do it, throwing in some new ingredients or altering the sauce.  It seems, I made this one, rather green.  I think I overdosed on the green peppers.

GREEN PEPPER STEAK

1 pound pre sliced pepper stead 2 tablespoons Tamari Sauce 1/ frozen cube ginger     2 onions, in thin slices 1 cup green bell peppers, sliced 1 stalk celery, sliced thin 1 cup water 1.2 cup  orange juice 6 small tomatoes cut into wedges.  I used fourths. 2 ounces mushrooms, sliced  (Had a few leftover so I threw them in.  What could be bad about mushrooms?  We like them)    Combine tamari sauce and ginger. Add beef. Toss and set aside while preparing vegetables. Spray crockpot with cooking oil.  Add beef and toss over high heat until browned. At low or medium add vegetables and orange juice.  Cook for four hours in your crock pot. Add tomatoes and heat throughly. Serve over a bed or rice or noodles. The pepper steak seems to have blended into an overall green.  Next time, the tomatoes go in later.  In the recipe above, I added them in, after I actually did, in this cooking.
