SAVORY PEPPER STEAK

1 1/2 to 2 pounds beef round steak, about 1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 large green or red peppers, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 tablespoon beef flavor base (paste or granules)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
OPTIONAL, FOR GRAVY:
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons water
Fluffy Rice (for serving)

Cut steak into strips.

Combine 1/4 cup flour, the salt and pepper; toss with steak strips to coat thoroughly. Add to Crockpot with onion, garlic and half of pepper strips; stir.

Combine tomatoes with beef base, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Pour into Crockpot, moistening meat well.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. One hour before serving, turn to high and stir in remaining green pepper strips.

IF THICKENED GRAVY IS DESIRED:
Make a smooth past of 3 tablespoons flour and 3 tablespoons water; stir into crockpot. Cover and cook until thickened.

Serve gravy with pepper steak over hot fluffy rice.
