Ingredients
Meat
- 2 lbs Sirloin Tip Steak (or chuck roast, cubed)
Vegetables
- 2 lbs Potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
Seasonings and Butter
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Steak Seasoning
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, sliced
Garnish
- Green Onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cube the sirloin tip steak into bite-sized pieces and cut the potatoes into roughly 2-inch chunks to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the cubed steak, potato pieces, kosher salt, minced garlic, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, steak seasoning, and sliced unsalted butter to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 5-7 hours, or alternatively cook on high for 3-4 hours. Cooking on low heat longer will yield the most tender steak bites. Begin checking for doneness at 5 hours on low or 3 hours on high to avoid overcooking or drying out the meat.
- Serve: Once tender and fully cooked, serve the garlic butter steak bites and potatoes as is or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped green onions for added color and flavor.
Notes
- For a saucier dish, add 1 cup of beef broth before cooking. Afterward, you may need to thicken the gravy by simmering it down or adding a cornstarch slurry.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the meat and potato pieces, so adjusting accordingly is recommended.
- Use kosher salt if using unsalted butter; omit salt if salted butter is used to prevent over-salting.
- Steak seasoning can be adjusted to taste or substituted with your favorite beef rub.
