A comforting slow cooker dish featuring tender beef strips simmered with bell peppers in a rich, savory sauce. Perfect for an easy and flavorful meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced into strips
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef strips for 1 to 2 minutes until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is tender.
  6. Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  7. Stir well, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Searing the beef adds extra flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms, snap peas, or broccoli for variety.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce for a lighter option.
  • Add red pepper flakes or chili peppers for a spicy kick.
  • Freezes well for up to 2 months in airtight containers.
