These tender, juicy steak bites are slow-cooked to perfection in the crockpot—easy, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners or game day snacks.

Ingredients

For the Meat:

2 pounds beef sirloin, chuck roast, or stew meat, cut into bite-sized chunks

For the Seasoning & Sauce:

3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup beef broth

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for finishing)

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Meat:
Pat steak bites dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika, and thyme.

Sear for Flavor (Optional but Recommended):
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sear steak bites in batches until browned on all sides (they don’t need to cook through).

Slow Cook:
Transfer steak bites to the crockpot. Add garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir to coat.

Cook:
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3 hours, until beef is fork-tender.

Finish:
Stir in butter before serving for a rich, silky finish. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Searing is optional, but it adds rich flavor and caramelization.

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, roasted veggies, or toothpicks as a party appetizer!
