Ingredients :
- 2 lbs beef sirloin strips or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 3 large bell peppers, sliced thick (use a mix of red, yellow, and green for vibrant color and added vitamins)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup low-sodium beef broth for a lighter sodium content
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce to reduce overall salt intake
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey for a natural sweetness
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger for a hint of spice and digestive benefits
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour (cornstarch is gluten-free)
Instructions :
- Prepare the Savory Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine hot beef broth, crushed bouillon cubes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch (or flour). Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve and the mixture is smooth.
- Layer the Ingredients: Place the beef strips at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, ensuring it is evenly coated. Top with sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic.
- Cook to Perfection: Cover and set your slow cooker to LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. For optimal flavor and texture, stir the ingredients halfway through cooking, if possible.
- Serve and Savor: Once cooked, stir well and transfer to a serving dish. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or noodles for a satisfying meal or can be served alongside mashed or baked potatoes for a comforting side.
