Equipment
Ingredients
Steak and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak thin cut into 1 inch strips
- 3 bell peppers red, yellow, and orange, seeds removed and sliced thick
- 1 yellow onion sliced
Sauce
- 3/4 cup hot beef broth
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Add the sliced sirloin steak to the bottom of a slow cooker and spread it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, add the hot beef broth and dissolve the bouillon cubes, crushing and stirring until fully dissolved. Add the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt, then stir until combined.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce mixture until completely smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the steak in the slow cooker.
- Add the bell peppers and sliced onion on top of the beef. For the best texture, slice the peppers very thick, at least 1 inch, so they hold up better during the long cook time. Do not stir.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the steak is tender and the sauce has thickened. If you prefer firmer peppers, you can add them during the last hour of cooking instead.
- Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
