Crockpot garlic butter steak bites are a hearty, flavorful dish featuring juicy beef simmered in a rich garlic butter sauce. This easy recipe ensures tenderness and bold taste with minimal effort, making it ideal for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:Cut the steak into even pieces. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
- Season Well:In a bowl, mix salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss steak bites until evenly coated.
- Sear for Extra Flavour:Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak bites for 1-2 minutes per side. This locks in juices and adds a delicious crust.

- Slow Cook to Perfection:Set the crockpot on low for 3 hours or high for 1.5 hours. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat juicy.
- Garnish and Serve :Sprinkle chopped parsley before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Best results come from using well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin.
- Do not skip the searing step; it adds depth of flavor.
- Fresh parsley brightens the rich, buttery sauce.
