🥩 Crockpot Steak Bites
🍖 Ingredients:
-
2 lbs sirloin steak (or chuck roast, ribeye, or stew meat), cut into bite-sized cubes
-
1 tbsp olive oil (for searing – optional but recommended)
-
4 tbsp butter, cut into pieces
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp dried thyme
-
1/2 cup beef broth
-
Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick
🍲 Instructions:
1. Sear (Optional but Recommended)
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sear steak bites in batches just until browned (1–2 min per side).
This locks in flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
2. Add to Crockpot
-
Place seared steak bites into the crockpot.
-
Top with butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
-
Pour beef broth over everything.
3. Cook
-
Cover and cook on:
-
Low for 6–7 hours (best for tenderness), or
-
High for 3–4 hours.
-
4. Serve
-
Stir before serving to coat bites in buttery garlic sauce.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
-
Over mashed potatoes or rice
-
Alongside roasted vegetables
-
Stuffed in hoagie rolls with cheese for steak sandwiches
