# Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger until well combined. Slice the beef into thin strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Place the sliced beef in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions on top of the beef. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ingredients.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the peppers are soft. Stir gently halfway through cooking if possible to ensure even distribution of flavors.
