Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 large bell peppers (any color combination), seeded and sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium is fine if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening the sauce, optional but recommended)
- 1/4 cup water (if using cornstarch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing, optional but adds depth)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- 1. If searing the steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned (do not cook through). Remove and set aside. If skipping searing, proceed to next step.
- 2. Place sliced onions and bell peppers in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- 3. Add the seared steak (or raw, thinly sliced steak) and minced garlic over the vegetables.
- 4. In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed soup, beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- 5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- 6. Optional thickening: About 30 minutes before serving, whisk cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker and cook on high until thickened.
- 7. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop reheating, add a tablespoon of water or broth if sauce is too thick. In microwave, heat on medium power, stirring halfway through.
