Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds beef bites (sirloin or chuck), cut into small, uniform pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 to 5 fresh garlic cloves, minced or finely sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • Red pepper flakes or hot sauce (for spicy variation)
  • Mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers (for added vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from your chosen beef cuts and cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy serving.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and slightly golden—this step intensifies the garlic flavor before slow cooking.
  3. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the beef bites into the slow cooker, pour the garlic butter mixture over top, and add beef broth along with salt, pepper, herbs, and optional Worcestershire or soy sauce.
  4. Slow Cook: Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef bites are tender and infused with the rich garlic butter sauce.
  5. Finish and Serve: Before serving, give the beef bites a gentle stir to coat them in the delicious melted butter sauce and sprinkle with fresh herbs for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Notes

  • Choose the right cut: Chuck or sirloin roast works best for tender, juicy bites after slow cooking.
  • Don’t skip sautéing garlic: It unlocks the full flavor and aroma, making the sauce richer.
  • Use fresh herbs: Adding fresh herbs at the end keeps your dish bright and visually appealing.
  • Control the moisture: Adjust beef broth amount if you want a thicker sauce—reduce by cooking uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • Pat beef dry: Drying the beef before searing enhances browning and boosts flavor.
