Why You’ll Love It
- Practically effortless
- Just a handful of ingredients
- Garlic-buttery goodness
- Kid-approved and crowd-friendly
- Great with rice, potatoes, or straight from the bowl
Here’s What You’ll Need
- 2 pounds sirloin or stew beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Let’s Make It
Step 1: Sear for Flavor
(Optional, but worth it.) Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sear steak pieces just until browned—about 2 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed.
Step 2: Into the Slow Cooker
Add steak bites to your slow cooker. Top with butter, garlic, Worcestershire, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the beef is tender and flavorful.
Step 4: Serve and Swoon
Stir gently and serve with a spoonful of that garlicky butter sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
Serving Ideas
– Over mashed potatoes
– With rice or egg noodles
– On top of a salad for a protein boost
– Tucked into a sandwich or wrap
– With roasted veggies on the side
IRL Q&A
Q: Do I have to sear the steak first?
A: Nope! But it adds extra flavor and a nice texture. If you’re short on time, skip it.
Q: Can I add veggies?
A: Yes—mushrooms or onions cook well with the steak. Add them from the start.
Q: What if I want it spicy?
A: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the slow cooker.
Q: Can I use a different cut of beef?
A: Chuck roast works too—just trim it and cut into chunks.
