Ingredients for Crockpot Steak Bites

You only need a few pantry staples to make magic happen:

Main Ingredients:

• 2 lbs sirloin steak (or chuck roast or stew meat), cut into 1-inch cubes

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup beef broth (low sodium recommended)

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)

• Fresh parsley for garnish

💡 Feel free to double the recipe — especially for leftovers or freezing! These reheat beautifully.

Tools You’ll Need

• 🥘 Slow Cooker (4–6 quart)

  This is the star of the show!

  • A 4-quart crockpot works great for smaller batches, while a 6-quart is perfect if you’re doubling the recipe or feeding a crowd.

  • Programmable settings are a bonus but not necessary — just a basic LOW and HIGH option will do.

  🔪 Sharp Knife and Cutting Board

  For trimming and cubing your steak into bite-sized pieces.

  • A chef’s knife is ideal for clean, even cuts.

  • Make sure your cutting board is stable and easy to clean (bonus points for one with a juice groove!).

  🥄 Measuring Cups and Spoons

  Accurate measurements = balanced flavor.

  • Use dry and liquid measuring tools for butter, broth, and seasonings.

  🥣 Mixing Bowl

  Perfect for whisking together your garlic butter sauce before pouring it over the steak.

  🧄 Whisk or Fork

  For mixing your sauce ingredients so they’re evenly combined.

  🍴 Tongs or Slotted Spoon

  Use tongs to serve the steak bites without too much sauce — or a slotted spoon if you want that buttery sauce poured over everything!

  🧽 Optional: Skillet (for searing)

  Totally optional, but if you want to brown your steak bites before slow cooking, a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet is ideal.

Ingredient Variations & Add-Ins

I promised you versatile — and here’s proof!

Best Cuts of Steak to Use:

• Sirloin – tender and flavorful, my favorite choice.

• Chuck roast – more budget-friendly, still gets super tender.

• Stew meat – pre-cut and easy, but varies in tenderness (go low and slow!).

Optional Add-Ins:

• Sliced mushrooms – add during the last 2 hours for a steak-and-mushroom vibe.

• Onions – caramelize beautifully while slow cooking.

• Creamy twist – stir in ¼ cup heavy cream before serving for a rich, velvety sauce.

• Spicy version – add extra red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

How to Make Crockpot Steak Bites

• In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.

Step 3: Combine in the Crockpot

Step 4: Slow Cook

• Stir once halfway through if you’re around (not required, but helpful).

Step 5: Finish and Serve

• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

• Serve warm with your favorite sides!

💡 Want even more flavor? Sear the steak bites in a skillet before adding them to the crockpot. It’s an extra step, but the browning adds so much depth!

Tips for Crockpot Steak Bite Success

Here’s how to make sure your steak bites come out perfect every time:

✅ Use the Right Cut of Meat

Sirloin is the best for a tender, juicy result, but chuck roast or stew meat works well if you cook it low and slow.

✅ Don’t Skip the Garlic

Fresh garlic makes all the difference here — it adds so much savory depth.

✅ Watch the Cook Time

Too long, and your steak can become dry or mushy. Check it at 5 hours on low or 2.5 hours on high for best results.

✅ Stir if You Can

A quick stir halfway through cooking helps distribute the sauce and ensure even cooking.

✅ Don’t Overdo the Salt

Worcestershire sauce and beef broth both contain sodium. Taste before adding more salt at the end.

✅ Garnish for Freshness

A sprinkle of fresh parsley (or even chives) adds color and brightness to this rich dish.

How to Store Crockpot Steak Bites

These store beautifully, making them perfect for meal prep!

In the Fridge:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth if needed.

In the Freezer:

• Let the steak bites cool completely.

• Transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag.

• Freeze for up to 2 months.

• Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen steak?

It’s best to thaw your steak first for even cooking and better texture. Frozen steak can release excess moisture and dilute the sauce.

Can I add veggies to the crockpot?

Yes! Mushrooms, onions, and even baby potatoes work well. Add sturdy vegetables at the beginning and more delicate ones (like bell peppers) in the last hour.

What’s the best steak to use?

Sirloin is my go-to. It’s lean, tender, and affordable. Chuck roast is more marbled and breaks down well with time. Avoid flank or skirt steak here — they’re better grilled.

Can I use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot instead?

Absolutely! Sear the steak bites, add the sauce, and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, then do a quick release.

In Conclusion

These Crockpot Steak Bites are the definition of low-effort, high-reward cooking. Whether it’s a busy weeknight, a cozy Sunday dinner, or you’re prepping meals for the week ahead, this recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Serve it over creamy mashed potatoes, with crusty bread for dipping, or straight out of the crockpot — no judgment. Once you try it, you’ll be making it again and again.
