Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 - 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and parsley)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Optional

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Medium Bowl
  • Paper towels
  • Slotted spoon
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Pat the sirloin steak cubes dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. This step helps to sear the steak slightly, enhancing its flavor and texture.

  2. Place the seasoned steak cubes into your slow cooker. Ensure they are in a single layer as much as possible for even cooking.

  3. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the steak. Then, distribute the pieces of butter on top of the garlic and steak.

  4. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the steak and butter. Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning over everything.

  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. The exact cooking time will depend on your slow cooker and desired steak tenderness. You're looking for the steak to be fork-tender and cooked through but not dried out.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the steak bites from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Let the cubes rest for a few minutes. The cooking liquid will have transformed into a delicious, buttery garlic sauce. You can either spoon this sauce over the steak bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
