Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin, thinly sliced into strips
1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef sirloin and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced green and red bell peppers and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Transfer the beef and vegetables to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until beef is tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles.
