Ingredients
- 2 TBSP peanut oil
- 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into bite size pieces
- salt & pepper

- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes

Directions
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef pieces generously with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot sear the beef (in batches, dont overcrowd the pan) until well browned on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared beef to a 5 quart slow cooker.

Pour contents of the pan into the slow cooker with the beef. Add the beans to the slow cooker and stor to combine. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
- In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water until cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker, stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
