Ingredients
  

For the Steak Bites
  • 2 lbs Boneless Chuck Roast cut into 1-inch cubes
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
  • 8 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Beef Broth low sodium preferred
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste
For Thickening (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup Cold Water
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • Whisk
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Prepare the Steak
  1. Cut the boneless chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Pat the steak pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels to help absorb the sauce better and prevent excess liquid.
Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Slow Cook the Steak
  1. Place the prepared steak bites evenly in the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak, stirring gently to ensure all pieces are coated.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
  1. If you desire a thicker sauce, prepare a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  2. Carefully remove about 1/2 cup of the hot liquid from the slow cooker and gradually whisk it into the cornstarch slurry to temper it. Then, pour the tempered slurry back into the slow cooker with the steak and stir well.
  3. Continue cooking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove the crockpot lid. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, choose a well-marbled chuck roast as it becomes incredibly tender and flavorful with slow cooking. Sirloin can also be used but may result in a slightly firmer texture. Serve these garlic butter steak bites with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
