Crock Pot Steak Bites are tender, flavorful pieces of beef slow-cooked in a savory garlic butter sauce. This easy slow cooker recipe yields juicy steak bites perfect for pairing with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables, making it an effortless and satisfying main dish.
Ingredients
Steak Bites
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 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
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: Place the steak pieces into the crock pot. Add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the steak.
- Add Butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them on top of the steak to allow it to melt throughout the cooking process, enriching the flavor.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the steak becomes tender and infused with the garlic butter sauce.
- Stir Halfway: If possible, stir the steak bites halfway through the cooking period to evenly distribute the seasonings and prevent sticking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and serve immediately with your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, use ribeye or chuck steak instead of sirloin.
- Add mushrooms or onions to the crock pot for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Leftover steak bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
