Make tender, juicy steak bites effortlessly in your slow cooker. This recipe uses a simple garlic butter sauce for maximum flavor with minimal hands-on time, perfect for weeknight dinners.

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 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the steak cubes in the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Sprinkle the steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Pour the beef broth over the steak.
  4. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the steak is tender.
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  7. Remove the steak bites from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon and place them in a serving bowl.
  8. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the steak bites. Toss to coat evenly.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving immediately over mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sear the steak cubes quickly in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This step is optional but adds depth.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir this slurry into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe works well with sirloin or tenderloin cuts for the best ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ results.
