How to Make Crockpot Steak Bites
- Pat the beef cubes dry using paper towels. Toss them in a mixture of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder until well-coated.
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the beef to your slow cooker. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and thyme. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the crockpot and set it on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- In the final 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or red pepper flakes just before serving.
