You need this Crockpot Steak Bites Recipe for your next dinner. This dish is perfect for anyone with a very busy schedule.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of sirloin steak or stew meat.
- 1/2 cup of salted butter cubed.
- 1/2 cup of beef broth or water.
- 2 tablespoons of minced fresh garlic.
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
- 1 teaspoon of dried onion powder.
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes.
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Instructions
Cut the Steak
- Cut the steak into small, one-inch cubes. Remove any large pieces of white fat.
Season the Meat
- Put the steak bites into your slow cooker. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and onion powder over.
Add the Garlic
- Add the minced garlic on top of the meat. This gives the steak a very bold flavor.
Pour the Liquids
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and the beef broth. This creates a tasty gravy as it cooks.
Add the Butter
- Place the cubes of butter on top of steak. The butter makes the meat very silky and rich.
Set the Timer
- Cover the crockpot with the heavy lid. Cook on low for about five or six hours.
Stir the Bites
- Gently stir the steak bites halfway through the time. This helps the butter coat every single piece.
Final Check
- Check a piece of meat with a small fork. It should break apart very easily when done.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle the dried parsley over the hot steak bites. Serve them while they are still very warm.
Notes
- Use sirloin steak for the most tender results.
- Do not open the lid too often while cooking.
- Cut all the steak bites into the same size.
- Add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce later.
- Use fresh garlic instead of powder for better taste.
- Sear the meat in a pan first for color.
- Do not overcook the meat or it gets dry.
- Serve over mashed potatoes to catch the extra juice.
