- Cook Time:
- Servings: 8
Ingredients
- (3 lbs. cut and diced) Sirloin Strip Steak
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small sweet onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- (1 cup) Beef Stock
- 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter thinly sliced
Directions
- Place the steak into a large bowl with the salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Get a large skillet hot over medium-high heat and add half of the oil. Sear off the steak pieces in batches and place them into an 8-quart slow cooker. Add more oil to the pan if needed.
- Once all the steak is seared, add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker, toss with the steak bites.
- Pour in the beef stock. Sprinkle the au jus packet over the top. Lay slices of the butter over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours. Stir every 30 minutes or so if you can. Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley if desired.
Can I use any type of steak for steak bits in the slow cooker?
Any type of steak like sirloin, tenderloin, beef stew meat or even ribeye will work.
Do I need to sear the steak before adding it to the crockpot?
While searing is not a must, it is going to deepen the flavors of the beef. We highly recommend not skipping that step of making the steak bites.
Storing Leftovers:
Refrigerate the leftover steak bites you have. Just place it in a sealed container for 3-4 days in the fridge. Then reheat as you would like. I find that if you warm it up in the microwave place it in a covered dish that can vent. This prevents splatter.
Or you can freeze any leftover steak you do not eat. A freezer bag or freezer container will work. Freeze for 4-5 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight. Or defrost and then reheat as you would like.
