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

  1. Season the steak: In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with black pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer to slow cooker: Place the seared steak bites into the slow cooker in a single layer.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Add butter for richness: During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the butter to melt and enrich the sauce.
  7. 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.
