Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef steak, cut into thin strips
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (1 red, 1 green)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Place the beef strips, sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic in the crock pot.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Stir together until well mixed.
- Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Cook: Set the crock pot to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld.
- Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking for the remaining time to allow the sauce to fully develop.
