Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or sirloin chunks
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth

  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef in a hot skillet for a few minutes to lock in flavor before adding it to your slow cooker.
  2. Add beef, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and carrots to the slow cooker.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour over the beef and veggies.

  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a fresh touch.
