Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 3 units Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow, sliced)
- 1 large Onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 0.333 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated or minced)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef steak into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef strips for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker on top of the beef.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
In the last 20 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for the remaining time, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the slow-cooked pepper steak over steamed rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
