🥩 Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef sirloin or top round, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

🥩 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! 🥰
