Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the thinly sliced beef sirloin on both sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
Add the sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic to the crock pot on top of the beef.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Thirty minutes before the cook time ends, add the cornstarch slurry to the crock pot and gently stir it in. This will thicken the sauce as it finishes cooking.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the pepper steak hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper or sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy!
