Crock Pot Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe
Crock Pot Garlic Butter Steak Bites cooked low and slow with garlic, butter, and herbs create juicy steak bites full of rich, savory flavor.
Equipment
- Slow cooker (Crock Pot)
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring spoons
- Small bowl (for mixing the sauce)
- Tongs or a spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sirloin steak cut into 1½-inch cubes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup beef broth
Optional ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for extra depth
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Steak
- Start by cutting your steak into even, bite-sized cubes. Try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly. As you cut, notice the marbling—that’s flavor waiting to happen.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, thyme, parsley, paprika, and beef broth. The smell alone will make you hungry—rich butter, sharp garlic, and warm spices coming together.
Step 3: Add Everything to the Crock Pot
- Place the steak bites into the slow cooker, then pour the garlic butter mixture over the top. Gently stir to coat every piece. This is where the magic starts.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the steak is fork-tender and the sauce has turned silky and fragrant.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
- Give everything a final stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
