Ingredients:
3 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup unsalted beef stock or broth
1 ounce au jus gravy mix (1 packet)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prep the Steak: Season the steak bites with kosher salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss well to coat evenly.
2. Sear for Flavor: Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak pieces in batches, ensuring a golden crust forms. Transfer the seared steak to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add more oil to the skillet if needed for additional batches.
3. Layer Ingredients: Add sliced onion and garlic on top of the steak bites in the slow cooker. Pour in the beef stock, then sprinkle the au jus gravy mix evenly over the top. Lay the butter slices across the surface.
4. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on:
HIGH for 3–4 hours
LOW for 6–8 hours
Stir occasionally, about every 30 minutes, if possible.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving (optional). These tender steak bites pair perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles.
Notes:
Substitute sirloin steak with round steak, stew meat, or chuck roast for a budget-friendly alternative.
Searing the steak enhances flavor but is optional. Skip this step if short on time.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
