Ingredients

2 lbs (900g) sirloin steak – cut into bite-sized cubes
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves – minced
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter – cut into small pieces
Fresh parsley – chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Step 3: Place the steak cubes into the crockpot and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 4: Dot the steak with small pieces of butter throughout the crockpot.
Step 5: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours until the steak is tender and flavorful.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

Tips & Variations

For extra caramelized flavor, quickly sear the steak cubes in a hot pan before adding to the crockpot.
Swap sirloin for ribeye or flank steak for a different texture and richness.
Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a teaspoon of brown sugar to the marinade for a subtle sweet tang.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the steak when done and simmer the cooking liquid on the stove to reduce it before serving.

Storage

Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop to prevent the beef from drying out. Avoid overcooking during reheating to maintain tenderness.

How to Serve

A few small green herbs are scattered on top, adding a touch of color contrast to the deep brown meat. The pieces are packed closely together, filling the frame, and the background is a soft white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
