Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds beef sirloin, sliced into strips
1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons white sugar

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add steak strips, and quickly brown on both sides, adding garlic while the steak cooks. Transfer steak and its juices to a slow cooker. Add onion, soy sauce, salt, pepper and sugar. Cover, and cook on Low until the beef is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours.
