Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the Steak
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step helps them cook up more tender and absorb all the flavor.
2. Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
3. Load the Crockpot
Place the steak bites in your slow cooker. Pour the marinade over the top, making sure every piece is well coated.
4. Add Butter
Dot the steak with the butter pieces. This adds a rich, velvety finish to the sauce as it cooks.
5. Slow Cook to Perfection
- Low for 4–5 hours
- High for 2–3 hours
The steak bites should be tender and juicy, infused with all that savory flavor.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and serve warm over your favorite side dish!
Serving Ideas
- Mashed Potatoes – Classic and cozy!
- Steamed Rice or Cauliflower Rice – Perfect for soaking up the juices.
- Garlic Butter Noodles – Toss with pasta for a satisfying bowl.
- As an Appetizer – Skewer a few bites and serve with toothpicks for easy entertaining!
Tips & Variations
- Want a thicker sauce? Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes to let it reduce, or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water).
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a splash of hot sauce.
- Swap the protein: Try this with stew beef, ribeye, or even mushrooms for a hearty vegetarian twist.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheat: Gently warm in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of broth or water.
