Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then add the mixture to the crock pot.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well, then pour the mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot.

Step 6

Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers to the crock pot.

Step 7

Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and fully cooked.

Step 8

In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot mixture to thicken the sauce.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
