Ingredients
1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced into strips
1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef sirloin to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from heat.
Place the sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the minced garlic on top of the vegetables.
Transfer the seared beef strips to the crock pot, placing them over the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and salt.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Turn the crock pot to high and cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Stir well and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
