Description
Tender and savory beef bites made with sirloin steak and a rich marinade, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900 g) sirloin steak, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter, cut into small chunks
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Get the steak ready: Blot the steak cubes with paper towels to remove excess moisture—this helps them cook better and soak up flavor.
- Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, stir together soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until smooth.
- Load up the crockpot: Place the steak cubes in your slow cooker and pour the marinade evenly over them, ensuring the pieces are coated well.
- Add the butter: Scatter the butter pieces on top of the steak mixture so they melt in during cooking.
- Let it cook: Cover and cook on low for 240-300 minutes or on high for 120-180 minutes until the steak is fork-tender and full of flavor.
- Serve it up: Garnish with parsley (optional) and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider searing the steak cubes in a hot skillet before adding them to the crock pot. You can add vegetables like bell peppers or carrots in the last hour of cooking for added nutrition.
