Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons cold water (for slurry)
Instructions
- Place the cubed steak into the basin of your slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the steak cubes in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the steak is tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small cup to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the slow cooker juices.
- Cover and cook on high for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the steak bites hot, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them.
Notes
- For best results, do not overcook the steak; check for tenderness around the 3-hour mark on low.
- Serve these steak bites over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add one more clove of minced garlic.
