Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Lean beef sirloin or round steak (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 Small onion (sliced into thin strips)
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Beef broth (low-sodium)
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for searing)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef steak into thin strips. If needed, trim any visible fat.

Step 2

In a large skillet, optionally heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef strips for 1-2 minutes per side for extra flavor. This step is optional to keep the recipe low fat.

Step 3

Add the beef strips to the crock pot.

Step 4

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers and the onion into thin strips. Place them on top of the beef in the crock pot.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, tomato paste, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are softened.

Step 8

In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.

Step 9

Once done, give everything one last stir to coat the ingredients in the thickened sauce.

Step 10

Serve warm over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
