Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef sirloin strips or sirloin steak, cut into slices
- 3 large colorful bell peppers, sliced thick
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup beef broth
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: Combine hot beef broth, crushed beef bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch or flour in a mixing glass. Stir well, ensuring the bouillon cubes fully dissolve.
- Prepare the Beef: Place the sliced beef sirloin strips into the slow cooker to form a hearty base that will steep in those wonderful flavors.
- Layer the Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef strips, and then artfully layer the thickly sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic on top for a colorful medley.
- Set the Cooker: Cover and set your Crock Pot to LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. If possible, stir the contents halfway through cooking to blend the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, give it a good stir to mix everything together and transfer it all to a serving dish. Pair it over rice or noodles, or as a delightful side with mashed or baked potatoes.
