Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thinly slicing your beef, using flank or sirloin for the best texture, aiming for strips approximately 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Chop the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces, creating a colorful medley.
  3. In your crockpot, combine the sliced beef, chopped bell peppers, onion, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Pour in beef broth and stir gently to mix all ingredients.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set to cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  5. To thicken the sauce, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crockpot and cook for an additional 15 minutes on high.
  6. When ready to serve, fluff some cooked rice in a bowl or on a plate and spoon the Pepper Steak over the rice.
