Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Protein

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized chunks

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Liquids and Fats

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pats

Optional Garnish

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Fresh parsley or lemon wedge (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Trim any excess fat from your steak and cut it into bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and optimal flavor absorption.
  2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and smoked paprika evenly over the steak bites to lock in flavor during slow cooking.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Layer the steak bites, minced garlic, soy sauce, and beef broth into the Crockpot. Top with small pats of butter to enrich the sauce as it simmers.
  4. Set and Forget: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the steak bites are tender and infused with savory flavors. Avoid lifting the lid frequently to maintain consistent heat.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Once cooked, sprinkle with chopped green onions or fresh herbs to brighten the dish before serving.

Notes

  • Choose sirloin or ribeye for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Pre-season the steak to ensure deep flavor penetration.
  • Use low and slow cooking to keep steak juicy and tender.
  • Avoid opening the lid often to maintain heat and cooking consistency.
  • Add fresh green onions or parsley at the end for a fresh garnish without overpowering.
