Cut beef into serving-sized portions. Brown beef in a bit of vegetable oil, in a large skillet. Meanwhile, slice onion and separate into rings.
Dice the peeled carrots, dice the celery and slice the peppers into thin strips or circles. Place these into the bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle the beef pieces with fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix. Place on top of the vegetables.

Turn the crockpot to high for 30 minutes, then turn to low, cover and cook for 7-9 hours.
