Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to the crockpot.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender.
- Before serving, stir the mixture to combine. Serve over cooked rice.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes to the crockpot.
- Substitute the flank steak with sirloin or round steak for a different flavor and texture.
