Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 2 lbs of beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch strips
- Garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into long strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into long strips
- 1 onion, chopped or sliced into long strips
- 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Searing the Beef: Begin by heating the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef sirloin strips seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sear the beef until browned on both sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
- Preparing the Vegetables: Slice the green and red bell peppers, as well as the onion, into long strips. Layer these vegetables on top of the seared beef in the slow cooker.
- Adding the Tomatoes: Open the can of diced tomatoes and pour it, along with its juices, over the peppers and onions in the slow cooker.
- Preparing the Gravy: In a small bowl, dissolve the beef bouillon cube in hot water. Mix in the cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker. Add the soy sauce and sugar, stirring all the ingredients to combine well.
- Slow Cooking: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to deeply infuse, tenderizing the beef and melding the tastes of all the ingredients.
- Final Preparation: Before serving, stir the mixture well to ensure all elements are evenly distributed and coated with the gravy. Serve over steamed white rice or egg noodles for a satisfying meal.
