# What You Need:

01 - 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables & Aromatics

02 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 1 small onion, finely chopped

→ Liquids

04 - 1/2 cup beef broth

11 - Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

# Directions:

01 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season thoroughly with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and smoked paprika.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak cubes in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer browned steak to the crockpot.
03 - Add minced garlic and onion to the skillet, adding a touch more butter if needed. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

05 - Place remaining butter on top of the steak. Stir gently to distribute all ingredients evenly.
06 - Cover and cook on LOW setting for 4 hours, or until steak reaches desired tenderness and flavors have melded together.
07 - Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The meat becomes so tender you can cut it with a fork, almost like a pot roast but with that savory steak flavor we all crave
  • Most of the cooking happens hands-off, leaving you free to handle other things or just relax
  • The garlic butter sauce creates this rich, velvety coating that makes every bite feel luxurious
02 -
  • Searing might feel like an extra step, but it creates those caramelized bits that become the foundation of your entire sauce
  • Dont lift the lid too often during cooking, or youll lose heat and extend the cooking time significantly
03 -
  • Add a splash of heavy cream during the last 10 minutes for the most velvety, restaurant-style sauce
  • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute
