Ingredients 🛒
2 lbs (900g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions 🍳
Prepare the Steak Bites:
Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Make the Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Combine in the Crockpot:
Add the steak cubes to the crockpot and pour the sauce mixture over the meat. Stir to ensure the steak is evenly coated with the sauce.
Cook:
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the steak is tender and fully cooked.
Serve:
Once cooked, give the steak bites a good stir to make sure they’re all coated in the sauce. Serve as a main dish with rice or mashed potatoes, or as an appetizer with toothpicks for easy snacking!
Tips 💡
Add Vegetables: For a one-pot meal, toss in some chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms in the last hour of cooking.
Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Spice it Up: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a little extra kick!
