Step 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.
