Unlock the key to recreating a restaurant favorite all in your slow cooker
Instructions:
Preparation: Sprinkle the black pepper liberally over the steak and rub in slightly. Cut the steak into thin strips. Place on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the onion and bell peppers.
Mixing Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic powder. Pour this mixture over the steak in the slow cooker.
Thickening: Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of beef broth with the cornstarch and pour into the slow cooker. Stir everything to fully incorporate all ingredients.
Cooking: Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours. Taste just before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Pro Tip
While this is a fairly authentic Chinese dish, originating from the Fujian province of China, using beef is a Western spin. For a dish even more authentic, substitute pork for the beef, as the original dish calls for.
