Ingredients
2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch strips
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cube beef bouillon
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Season and Sear the Beef: Sprinkle the beef sirloin strips with garlic powder. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the beef strips for about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate container, dissolve the beef bouillon cube in hot water. Mix in the cornstarch until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture over the beef strips in the slow cooker.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped onion, green bell peppers, stewed tomatoes (with liquid), soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the pepper steak over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, mix additional cornstarch with water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
Customize the dish with other vegetables like mushrooms or red bell peppers if desired.
