Step 1
Start by pouring the pineapple juice into your slow cooker and set aside the pineapple chunks for later. Add the beef, onions, beef broth, red wine vinegar, garlic, seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper into the slow cooker with the juice. Give everything a good stir to combine, then cover and let it cook on low for about 6 to 6 and a half hours, until the beef is nice and tender.

Step 2
Once the beef is almost ready, turn the heat up to high and toss in the green and red bell peppers along with the brown sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, and a little more red wine vinegar until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken things up, then cover and let it cook for another hour.
