Instructions
Creating delicious Crockpot Steak Bites is simple with these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels for better browning.
2. Sear the Steak: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on all sides for about 2-3 minutes. This step adds flavor but is optional.
3. Transfer to Crockpot: Place the browned steak pieces in the crockpot.
4. Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the steak.
5. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and beef broth.
6. Pour Over Steak: Pour the sauce mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crockpot. Stir gently to combine everything together.
7. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
8. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water, then stir it into the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot over rice, pasta, or enjoy as-is.
