Slow-Cooker Asian-Style Beef

I recently came across a recipe for Slow-Cooker Asian-Style Beef in the Kraft What’s Cooking Magazine and knew right away I had to try it.   There were modifications I wanted to make right from the start and without having made the original, I am pretty certain my version is better.  This is so delicious between the yummy sauce, the falling apart beef and the crisp snow peas.  Yum!

1. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat.
2. Add meat and garlic; saute for 5 min. until browned.
3. Stir in teriyaki sauce, bell peppers, crushed pepper and green onion.
4. Pour into slow cooker; cover with lid.
5. Cook on LOW 5 to 6 hours (or on HIGH 3 to 4 hours).
6. Mix cornstarch, vinegar, soy sauce, oils and ginger until blended.
7. Add to slow cooker with snow peas, mushrooms and nuts; stir.
8. Cook, uncovered, 10 min. or until slightly thickened.
