Instructions
For the Crock Pot Pepper Steak:
Prepare the Beef:
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the sliced beef strips and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer the beef to your crock pot.
Add Vegetables and Sauce:
To the crock pot, add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.

Cover the crock pot and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
Thicken the Sauce:
About 30 minutes before serving, add the cornstarch-water mixture to the crock pot and stir well. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened.
