Slow Cooker Pepper Steak with Tender Sirloin Strips

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch strips
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 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

These ingredients come together to form a sauce that is savory, lightly sweet, and full of depth. The combination of soy sauce and bouillon brings saltiness and umami to the dish, while the stewed tomatoes add moisture and a subtle tang. The bell peppers soften as they cook, releasing sweetness that balances the beef perfectly.
