Ingredients
Steak
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings & Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 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
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces ensuring they are fairly uniform for even cooking.
- Add ingredients to the crock pot: Place the steak bites into the crock pot. Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the meat.
- Add butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them on top of the seasoned steak pieces to melt and infuse flavor during cooking.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 4 to 5 hours until the steak bites are tender and flavorful.
- Stir midway: If possible, gently stir the steak bites halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and distribution of the garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley over the steak bites for a fresh finish. Serve the juicy steak bites alongside your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
Notes
- For extra tenderness and richer flavor, consider using ribeye or chuck steak instead of sirloin.
- Add sliced mushrooms or onions before cooking to enhance the flavor profile.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
