Slow-Cooked Beef with Peppers and Mushrooms: A Comforting Midwestern Classic

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the beef strips until browned, then transfer them to the slow cooker.

2. Add Vegetables

Add chopped peppers, onion, mushrooms, and garlic on top of the beef in the slow cooker.

3. Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the beef broth and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables.

4. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables reach your preferred doneness.

5. Thicken the Sauce

About 30 minutes before serving, combine cornstarch and water into a smooth paste. Stir into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

6. Season and Garnish

Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
