1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:-
Prepare the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
Add the sliced flank steak and sear until browned on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned steak to the crock pot.
Add Vegetables:
Add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic to the crock pot over the steak.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cook:
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Serve:
Give everything a good stir before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Tips:
For Extra Flavor: Marinate the steak in the sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
