Description
A savory-sweet slow cooker dish featuring tender beef, bell peppers, and a rich umami glaze, perfect for cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef stew meat
- 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a crockpot, combine beef stew meat, sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Toss gently to mix.
- In a separate bowl, mix beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the mixture into the crockpot and stir gently to coat.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until beef is fork-tender.

- Serve hot over rice or noodles with sauce on top.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness. Trim excess fat from the beef for a cleaner finish.
