Description
Tender strips of beef slow-cooked in a savory soy-garlic sauce with bell peppers and onions — a comforting, flavorful meal served over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Optional: sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef strips for 2–3 minutes (optional for added flavor).
- Place beef, bell peppers, onion, and garlic into the crockpot.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, black pepper, and ground ginger. Pour over meat and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until beef is tender.
- In the last 30 minutes, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into crockpot. Cook until sauce thickens.
- Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Searing the beef before adding to the crockpot enhances flavor but can be skipped for ease.
- Use a mix of red, yellow, and green peppers for more color and sweetness.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
