Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and sear until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the steak to the crockpot.
