Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs beef sirloin or chuck steak, cut into strips
2 green bell peppers, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the beef: Season the beef strips with black pepper and smoked paprika.
Layer the slow cooker: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the beef strips on top and add the minced garlic.
Add the sauce: Whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
