Ingredients:
2 pounds stew beef (bite-sized pieces)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup honey
½ cup ketchup
½ cup soy sauce
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Fresh parsley or sliced scallions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Brown the Beef:
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stew beef and quickly sear each side until nicely browned. (No need to cook through just a golden crust!)
2. Transfer to Slow Cooker:
Move the browned beef into your slow cooker.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and dried oregano. Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker and stir well to coat.
4. Cook Low and Slow:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and juicy.
(Tip: If the sauce thickens too much before the beef is done, add ½ cup water.)
5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with ¼ cup water and stir it into the sauce about 20–30 minutes before serving.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped parsley or scallions for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve the honey garlic steak bites over white rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option!
Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Steak Bites:
Choose high-quality stew beef for extra tenderness.
Don’t skip browning the meat it locks in flavor!
Adjust the sweetness by adding a little extra soy sauce if desired.
