Ingredients
-
1 lb. Sirloin Steak or Ribeye (or any cut of steak you prefer)
-
1 large onion (chopped)
-
2 cloves garlic (minced)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce (for depth of flavor)
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (adds umami)
-
1 cup beef broth (for the slow cooking process)
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional but adds a beautiful herb note)
-
1 teaspoon paprika (for a smoky undertone)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Steak:
Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking. -
Sear the Steak:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak pieces and sear until browned on all sides (about 3 minutes per batch). This will lock in flavor. -
Transfer to the Crockpot:
Place the seared steak, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and seasonings into the crockpot. Stir to combine. -
Slow Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or on high for 2 hours, until the steak is tender and the flavors are fully developed.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
Stir the steak bites to coat them in the sauce, then serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or a salad for a complete meal.
Notes
-
For a leaner option, use a lean cut like flank steak or sirloin.
-
Feel free to add extra vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, for added flavor and nutrients.
-
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
