Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.33 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin or flank steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Season the beef with salt and black pepper, then set it aside.
Thinly slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Slice the onion into thin strips as well.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant (do not burn).
Add the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet with the garlic. Stir to combine, then pour the mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Layer the sliced bell peppers and onions on top of the beef in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and flavorful.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Serve the peppers and steak over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
