Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Vegetables
  • 2.5 lbs Beef Sirloin Steak Cut into bite-sized strips
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion Sliced
  • 2 Green Bell Peppers Sliced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
For the Sauce
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Low Sodium preferred
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch For thickening
  • 2 tbsp Water Cold

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place the cut steak strips into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. Distribute the sliced onions and bell peppers evenly over the top of the steak.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and dried basil until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the steak and vegetables in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 3.5 hours, or until the steak is very tender.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, prepare the slurry by whisking the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for the final 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  8. Serve hot over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can sear the steak strips in a hot skillet with a little oil for 2-3 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker. This step is optional but enhances browning.
