Ingredients
1 pound beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin strips and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced onions. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Transfer the beef, sautéed onions, and garlic to the crock pot.
Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers to the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and salt.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked but still crisp.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Cover and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes.
Stir well before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
