What You’ll Need

(Full ingredient list and measurements are located directly below this article in the Recipe Card!)

• Sirloin Steak: Tender and perfect for slow-cooking.

• Garlic: Because honestly, garlic is the answer to most of life’s problems.
• Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Black Pepper: To amp up that savory kick.

How to Make Slow-Simmered Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Step 1: Prep Like a Boss

Grab your 2 pounds of sirloin steak and cut it into neat, one-inch cubes. If your butcher is feeling generous, you might even ask them to do it for you. Less work = more Netflix time.

Step 2: Marinate the Magic

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss the steak bites in this mixture, making sure every piece gets a nice, cozy coating. Let it marinate for about 20 minutes if you have the time. (If not, don’t sweat it they’ll still be amazing.)

Step 3: Set It and Forget It

Transfer your marinated steak bites (and all that yummy marinade) into your crockpot. Set it on LOW and let the magic happen for about 4 hours. If you’re in a hurry, you can set it on HIGH for 2 hours, but the slow simmering brings out that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

Step 4: Optional but Life-Changing Final Touch

Before serving, if you want that slightly crisp, caramelized edge, pop the steak bites under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Totally optional, but highly recommended!

Cooking Tips for Perfect Crockpot Steak Bites

• Don’t Crowd the Pot: Spread the steak bites out in a single layer if possible to cook them evenly.
• Feeling Fancy?: Add a sprig of rosemary or thyme to the pot for an herbal twist.
• For Keto Fans: Swap the soy sauce for coconut aminos for a lower-carb option.

Freezing: These bites freeze beautifully! Just let them cool completely before storing them in freezer bags. They’ll keep for about 3 months.
