Description
Crock Pot Steak Bites are tender, flavorful pieces of beef slow-cooked in a savory garlic butter sauce. This easy slow cooker recipe creates juicy steak bites that are perfect for serving with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
Ingredients
Steak and Seasonings
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Butter and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Place the bite-sized sirloin steak pieces evenly into the crock pot ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the steak pieces to impart rich, savory flavors.
- Add Butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them on top of the steak to melt throughout the slow cooking process, adding moistness and richness.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours until the steak bites become tender and infused with the garlic butter sauce.
- Stir Occasionally: If possible, gently stir the steak bites halfway through cooking to ensure even flavor distribution and prevent sticking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley over the steak bites before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, use ribeye or chuck steak as alternatives to sirloin.
- Add mushrooms or onions to the crock pot to enhance flavor complexity.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
