Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place the cubed sirloin steak into your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat the pieces evenly.
- Pour the beef broth over the steak.
- Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the steak is tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the butter pieces and minced garlic. Let the butter melt and create a sauce.
- Stir gently until the butter is fully incorporated into a garlic butter sauce.
- Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
- Serve the crockpot steak bites over mashed potatoes or rice for a complete dinner.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sear the steak cubes in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the steak near the end of cooking and let the liquid simmer on high with a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water).
- This recipe works well with other cuts like chuck roast, cut into cubes.
