2. Sear the Beef and Peppers

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.

• Cook just until the meat gets a nice sear.

3. Load the Crock Pot

• Leave any extra oil or drippings behind.

4. Prepare the Gravy

• In the same skillet, pour in the stewed tomatoes (with juice) and beef broth.
• Stir in a bit of flour slowly to help thicken the mixture.
• Let it simmer briefly, then pour the sauce over the meat in the slow cooker.

5. Let It Cook

• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.

6. Time to Serve
