🥩 Instructions

1️⃣ Sear the beef (optional but flavorful!):
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Quickly sear the beef strips until just browned (no need to cook through).
Transfer the beef to your crockpot.

2️⃣ Build the flavor:
Top the beef with onions, bell peppers, and garlic.

3️⃣ Make the sauce:
In a bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper.
Pour over the beef and veggies.

4️⃣ Slow cook:
Cover and cook on Low for 5–6 hours or High for 3 hours, until the beef is tender and juicy.

5️⃣ Thicken the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with a splash of cold water.
Stir into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.

6️⃣ Serve:
Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions if you like! 🥰
