Equipment
- 1 Crock pot
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- ΒΌ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional for thickening

Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and sear the strips until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. This step enhances the flavor but can be skipped if you prefer.
- Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
- Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the crock pot.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it on low heat for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before serving, add this mixture to the crock pot and stir until the sauce thickens.
