Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Optional Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Sear the Steak (Optional but Recommended): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the steak bites in batches for 2–3 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer the seared pieces to the slow cooker.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Slow Cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the steak bites in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat the meat evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for 3–4 hours until the steak is fork-tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving. Enjoy your steak bites over mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
Notes
- Searing the steak before slow cooking adds extra flavor and texture but can be skipped for convenience.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your slow cooker model; check tenderness at 3 hours to avoid overcooking.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
