1. Prepare the Meat
Pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel. This helps them absorb the flavors and prevents them from steaming too much in the crockpot.
2. Season Generously
Toss the steak chunks in salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
3. Build the Flavor Base
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour the garlic-butter mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker.
4. Add Steak & Liquids
Place the seasoned steak bites into the crockpot. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, making sure the beef is well coated.
5. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the steak is tender and infused with flavor.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Stir gently, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Tips for the Best Steak Bites
- Brown for extra flavor: If you have time, sear the steak chunks in a hot pan with butter before adding them to the crockpot. This caramelizes the outside and boosts the flavor.
- Make it creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese at the end for a rich, velvety sauce.
- Keep it saucy: Want more gravy-like consistency? Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water, stir into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes, and let it thicken.
- Cut choice: Sirloin, chuck roast, or stew meat all work well, but chuck tends to be the most melt-in-your-mouth option after long cooking.
