Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 4 to 6 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)

Liquids and Fats

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup beef broth or stock

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak Bites: Trim excess fat from the steak and cut into evenly sized bite pieces to ensure uniform cooking and tenderness.
  2. Mince the Garlic: Peel and finely mince fresh garlic cloves to maximize flavor infusion into the butter and steak.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place steak bites into the slow cooker, add the minced garlic, butter, beef broth, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Slow Cook Low and Slow: Set the crockpot on low and cook for 3 to 4 hours to allow the beef to absorb flavors and become tender and juicy.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, gently stir the steak bites, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve with plenty of the garlic butter sauce.

Notes

  • Choose quality beef cuts like sirloin or ribeye for best flavor and texture.
  • Cook on low heat for tenderness; avoid rushing to maintain melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Add butter early to enrich the sauce as it melts during cooking.
  • Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme brighten the flavor better than dried versions.
  • Keep steak bite sizes consistent to avoid uneven cooking.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for color and freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooled steak bites in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding broth or butter if needed to retain moisture.
  • Frozen steak bites can be used but are best thawed first to avoid diluting the sauce.
