Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 pounds sirloin steak or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the steak: In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with black pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
- Sear the steak bites: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak bites in batches, cooking for 1–2 minutes per side until nicely browned on the outside. The steak does not need to be cooked through.
- Transfer to slow cooker: Place the seared steak bites into the slow cooker in a single layer.
- Add the liquids and garlic: Add the minced garlic, beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook the steak bites: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Add butter for richness: During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the butter to melt and enrich the sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the steak bites over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of broth after searing and add those flavorful browned bits to the slow cooker.
- Serve these steak bites over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or alongside roasted vegetables for a balanced dinner.
- To add a little heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes when adding the garlic and liquids.
