Main Ingredients
- 2 lb beef sirloin or round steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1.5 cup sliced yellow onion
- 3 cup bell pepper strips (mixed colors)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.75 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt add to taste
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water for slurry
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Slice beef thin against the grain. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear beef in batches until browned.
- Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker. Add sliced onion on top.
- Whisk broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and tomatoes.
- Pour the mixture over the beef. Cover and cook on Low 5–6 hours.
- Stir in bell peppers. Switch to High and cook 45–60 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Mix cornstarch with water. Stir into the cooker and simmer 10–15 minutes to thicken.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
Variation: Add sliced mushrooms with the onions, or swap flank steak for sirloin. For extra heat, increase red pepper flakes. Serve over steamed rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the gravy.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat gently, adding a splash of broth if needed.
