Slow Cooker Pepper Steak

I cannot say that I am sure when "pepper season" is.  It doesn't seem like there is a time of the year when peppers are bad...I have cooked a ton of peppers over the winter and have loved the flavor they bring to just about anything you cook.  Pepper steak is one of my favorites...I love the tender flavorful meat over either rice or egg noodles.

2lbs. beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
Garlic powder to taste
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cube beef bouillon
1/4 C. hot water
1 tbsp. corn starch
1/2 C. chopped onion
2 large green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 14.5oz. can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. white sugar
1 tsp. salt

Sprinkle strips of sirloin with garlic powder to taste.  In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and brown the seasoned beef strips.  Transfer to a slow cooker.

Mix bouillon cube with hot water until dissolved, then mix in cornstarch until dissolved.  Pour into the slow cooker with meat.  Stir in onion, green peppers, stewed tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar and salt.

Cover, and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
