Tender slices of beef cooked slowly in a flavorful pepper sauce with bell peppers and onions, perfect for an easy and delicious crock pot meal.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
1 large green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium yellow onion, sliced into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef sirloin and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer the seared beef and sautéed vegetables to the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground black pepper, and salt.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours until beef is tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes until sauce has thickened.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
