Tender and flavorful slow cooker steak bites cooked to perfection in a savory garlic au jus sauce, ideal for an easy and satisfying meal served over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs. sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef stock (or water)
  • 1 oz. packet au jus
  • 4 Tbsp. salted butter

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and season with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak pieces on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes total. To prevent overcrowding and ensure proper browning, sear the steak in batches if necessary.
  2. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Once all steak bites are browned, transfer them to the slow cooker.
  3. Add Flavorings: Add the minced garlic, beef stock, and the au jus packet to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine these ingredients with the meat.
  4. Add Butter and Cook: Place the 4 tablespoons of salted butter on top of the steak mixture. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 4 hours or on HIGH heat for 2 hours until the steak bites are tender and infused with sauce.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the steak bites hot with the au jus sauce spooned over. This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a hearty meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, do not skip searing the steak bites, as it adds depth of flavor.
  • You can substitute beef stock with water if preferred, but stock enhances the richness.
  • Keep an eye on your slow cooker settings to avoid overcooking; tenderness is key.
  • This recipe is versatile and complements a variety of sides such as vegetables or pasta.
