How to make slow cooker steak pizzaiola

Print this recipe
Steak pizzaiola usually consists of peppers and onions cooked in tomato sauce with a nice strip steak or filet mignon nestled on top. The recipe below however, delivers all that delicious taste from a slow cooker and is the best steak pizzaiola I've ever had. There's also almost no prep time required - you don't even need to brown the meat! Just throw everything in and come back to one of the most mouth-watering dishes ever.
This steak pizzaiola is delicious as is, but if you have leftovers (and that's a big if!) it's also very good wrapped in a tortilla along with the peppers and mushrooms. Two meals in one that require no effort whatsoever? How does it get any better than that?
