This is a decent recipe, but doesn't compare to P.F. Changs. The peppers and onions get too soft and mushy in the crockpot. The flavor is good, but I think it would be better with minced garlic instead of garlic powder. I might try the recipe again, but cook it all in a frying pan and skip the crockpot altogether!

It's sesame oil, black pepper, fresh garlic, dark & white sauce, chili paste, onion, green and red bell peppers, and fried strips of steaks.. nothing more or less.. I forget the exact amounts but I used to work at pf changs. this recipe given is torture.. nothing close to a knock off.. Just made it today for first time in 4+ years. it goes.. oil, black pepper, fresh garlic onion, red & green bell peppers sauteed. fry the strips of beef "best to flower them so they don't stick". throw all into a wok or pan and add chili paste, dark & white sauce and sauteed til it thickens.
