Instructions

Prepare the Beef


  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.



  • Lightly sear the beef strips until browned on the outside (they don’t need to be fully cooked).



  • Transfer beef to the slow cooker.


Add Vegetables & Sauce


  • Add sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.



  • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, ginger, and black pepper.



  • Pour the sauce over the beef and veggies.


Cook


  • Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until beef is tender.


Thicken the Sauce


  • About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.



  • Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and let the sauce thicken.


Serve


  • Serve hot over steamed rice, egg noodles, or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.


Serving Suggestions


  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.



  • Add a drizzle of sriracha or chili flakes for extra heat.



  • Pair with an Asian-inspired side like egg rolls or stir-fried veggies.


Storage & Reheating


  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.



  • Freeze in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.



  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
