Cooking
  1. Place the sliced steak, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic into the crock pot.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper. Pour this over the ingredients in the crock pot.
  3. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the steak is tender.

Notes

Make sure to let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
