Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1.5 pounds steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces ensuring uniform size for even cooking. Season the pieces with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
  2. Set Up the Crockpot: Place the seasoned steak bites in the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic and distribute the butter over the steak pieces for rich flavor and moisture during cooking.
  3. Cook the Steak: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until the steak bites are tender and cooked to your desired doneness. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure flavors meld evenly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Once the steak bites are done, give them a gentle stir, then serve hot. The steak will be juicy, tender, and infused with buttery garlic flavor, perfect as an appetizer or main dish.
