Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 lbs (900g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
Liquid Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Dry Seasonings and Finishing Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, 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 for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly dab steak cubes with paper towels to eliminate surface moisture, creating optimal seasoning absorption.
- Craft a flavor-packed marinade by whisking soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Transfer steak cubes into the crockpot, meticulously coating each piece with the prepared marinade for maximum flavor penetration.
- Strategically distribute butter pieces across the steak bites to enhance richness and create a luxurious texture.
- Secure crockpot lid and slow cook at 195°F – on low setting for 4-5 hours or high setting for 2-3 hours, ensuring meat becomes supremely tender and reaches desired doneness.
- Once cooking completes, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites for a vibrant garnish and serving appeal.
- Present the succulent steak bites atop creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or as an elegant standalone appetizer.
Notes
- Pat the steak cubes completely dry to achieve a perfect sear and prevent excess liquid during slow cooking.
- Consider using a high-quality cut like sirloin or ribeye for maximum tenderness and rich flavor in your crockpot steak bites.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred meat doneness, checking internal temperature to ensure optimal results.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and broth for a healthier version without compromising taste.
