Equipment

Large skillet for browning beef
crock pot / slow cooker
Mixing Bowl
wooden spoon
measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

2 lb beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch strips
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cube beef bouillon
1/4 cup hot water
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 large green bell peppers, chopped
14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes with liquid
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brown beef strips on all sides (do not fully cook).
In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon cube in hot water. Stir in cornstarch until smooth. Pour mixture into crock pot.
Transfer browned beef to crock pot. Add garlic powder, onion, bell peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir gently.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until beef is tender and peppers are soft but not mushy.
Serve hot over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Use sirloin for best flavor, or swap in chuck or round steak for a budget-friendly option. Add red bell peppers for sweetness or spice it up with crushed red pepper flakes. Leftovers reheat beautifully the next day.
