Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Protein

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

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Trim any excess fat from the steak and cut into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Quickly sear the steak pieces until browned on all sides to lock in juices and add a caramelized crust.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Cook in Crockpot: Place the seared steak bites into the crockpot. Pour the prepared sauce over the steak and sprinkle with fresh rosemary or thyme. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the steak is tender.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Stir the steak bites gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use quality cuts like sirloin or ribeye for best tenderness.
  • Searing before slow cooking enhances flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness; 3 to 4 hours on low is ideal.
  • Use fresh herbs to brighten the dish rather than dried ones.
  • If sauce is too thin after cooking, thicken with a cornstarch slurry if desired.
  • For gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari and verify other sauces.
