Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes
A simple and comforting slow-cooker meal featuring tender beef sirloin and perfectly cooked baby potatoes in a garlicky butter sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes Substitutions: chuck roast or stew meat can be used.
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved Yukon gold or red potatoes work well; use larger potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces.
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter Use salted or unsalted garlic butter; store-bought is fine.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Trim excess fat from the sirloin and cut into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the beef cubes on top.
- Dollop the garlic butter over the meat and potatoes. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, then season with a bit more salt and pepper if desired.
- Gently stir to combine so the butter and seasonings coat everything.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours. Check at the shorter end of the range: the beef should be fork‑tender and potatoes cooked through.
Serving
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra depth, sear the cubed beef in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
