These Crockpot Garlic Butter Steak Bites are an easy, comforting dinner packed with buttery, garlicky flavor. Tender pieces of sirloin slowly cook in a savory broth with Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning, creating delicious juices that are perfect for spooning over the steak.
For even more flavor, give the steak bites a quick sear before adding them to the slow cooker. It adds a beautiful browned exterior while keeping the recipe simple enough for a busy weeknight.
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
- 5 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
Cut the sirloin steak into bite-size pieces. Pat the steak dry with paper towels for better browning if you plan to sear it first.
2. Optional: Sear the Steak
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the steak bites in batches until browned on the outside. You don’t need to cook them through—they will finish cooking in the crockpot.
3. Add Everything to the Crockpot
Place the steak bites in the crockpot. Add the minced garlic, butter, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Stir gently to coat the steak in the buttery mixture.
4. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, until the steak is tender and cooked through.
For best results, avoid cooking the steak much longer than necessary, as lean sirloin can become firmer with extended cooking.
5. Garnish and Serve
Give everything a gentle stir, spoon some of the buttery juices over the steak, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
⭐ Tips for Success
- Sear first: Browning the steak adds extra depth of flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet: If searing, work in batches so the steak browns instead of steaming.
- Use fresh garlic: It gives the buttery sauce a much stronger flavor.
- Watch the cooking time: Sirloin is relatively lean, so cooking it only until tender helps prevent it from becoming tough.
- Save the juices: The garlic-butter broth is delicious spooned over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
🍽️ What to Serve with Steak Bites
These steak bites pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, green beans, rice, or crusty bread.
For a lower-carb meal, serve them with cauliflower mash, sautéed zucchini, or a simple green salad.
🧊 Storage
Store leftover steak bites and their juices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
