Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4-6)
For the Steak Bites:
1.5 lbs sirloin steak (or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp olive oil (for searing, optional but recommended)
For the Sauce:
½ cup beef broth (or water + 1 tsp bouillon)
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)
½ tsp onion powder
(Optional: 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water for thickening at the end)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Season & Sear (Optional but Worth It!)
Pat steak cubes dry, then toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat and sear steak bites for 1-2 minutes per side (just to brown—don’t cook through!).
2. Slow Cook to Perfection
Transfer steak to the crockpot.
Add beef broth, butter, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, and onion powder.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours (or HIGH for 1-1.5 hours).
3. Thicken (Optional)
If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch + water, stir into the crockpot, and cook 10 more minutes.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over:
Mashed potatoes
Buttered noodles
Rice
Crusty bread (for dipping!)
