These tender beef strips are packed with bold flavors and perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. Whether served with rice or wrapped in tortillas, they're sure to become a family favorite in no time.
Start by heating some olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Toss in the onions and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they turn a nice golden brown—this should take about 15 minutes. Next, add the beef strips, garlic, and both types of pepper to the skillet. Keep cooking everything together until the beef is browned and the garlic is fragrant and golden, which usually takes around 10 minutes.
While that’s going on, mix the water, red wine, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in your slow cooker. Stir in the brown gravy mix and kosher salt until the gravy mix dissolves completely. Once the beef and onions are ready, transfer them into the slow cooker and give everything a good stir to combine.
Set the slow cooker to High and cook until the mixture is just about to boil, about an hour. Then turn the heat down to Low and let it simmer for another hour or so, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened up nicely. Enjoy!
- Use high heat to quickly sear the beef and lock in juices.
- Cut the beef against the grain for extra tenderness.
- Let the beef rest a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
This dish is full of rich, savory flavors that come together quickly. The beef strips stay tender and juicy, making it perfect for a fast weeknight meal. It’s a great way to enjoy a hearty and satisfying dinner without spending hours in the kitchen.
Serve with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Add a side of sautéed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid overcooking the beef. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
