 Ingredients (Serves 6)

• 2 pounds sirloin steak, sliced into wide strips

• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in ¼ cup hot water

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• ½ cup chopped onion

• 2 large green bell peppers, chopped into chunks

• 1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes, with juice

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

 Instructions – Let the Slow Magic Happen

1. Season and Sear

Start by sprinkling garlic powder over your beef strips. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and quickly brown the beef—just a couple of minutes per side. No need to cook it through—let the slow cooker do the rest!

‍ Tip: Browning adds a depth of flavor you don’t want to skip.

2. Create the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the dissolved bouillon cube with cornstarch until smooth. Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice and stir everything to combine.

3. Layer in the Slow Cooker

Place the seared beef into your slow cooker. Top with chopped onions and bell peppers. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top.

4. Slow Cook to Perfection

• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours

• Or on High for 3 to 4 hours
  The beef will turn tender, and the sauce will thicken into a savory glaze packed with flavor.

 Pro Tips for Even Better Results

• Want a thicker sauce? About 30 minutes before serving, stir in an extra slurry of cornstarch + cold water.

• Prefer crunchier peppers? Add bell peppers during the last hour of cooking.

• A splash of Worcestershire sauce can deepen the flavor even more!

 Serving Suggestions

This dish is made to be served over:

• Steamed white rice

• Brown rice for a healthier touch

• Egg noodles or even mashed potatoes for a comforting twist

Pair it with a side of sautéed green beans or roasted broccoli for a balanced meal.
