Prep Time: 20 Min
Cook Time: 4 Hrs 10 Min

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
garlic powder to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cube beef bouillon
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and brown the seasoned beef strips. Transfer to a slow cooker.
I actually soaked the beef in cold water while I did step 2 and 3 to drain all of the blood. Then I paper-toweled the pieces very well, seasoned, and then browned them.
2. Mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then mix in cornstarch until dissolved. Pour into the slow cooker with meat. Stir in onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
I used a green pepper and a red pepper just for aesthetics. I did not use the salt and it was fine. The soy sauce makes up for it. I also cut 5 pieces of garlic and stuck them in there.
3. Cover, and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
