This recipe is also incredibly versatile. You can serve it over mashed potatoes for a homestyle dinner, spoon it onto rice or pasta for a filling meal,
or even pair it with roasted veggies for a lower-carb option. It’s a recipe that works for busy weeknights, meal prep, or even casual entertaining.

Ingredients
2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for searing)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

 

Step-by-Step Instructions
Optional sear: Heat  olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear  steak cubes in batches for 1–2 minutes per side to lock in flavor (optional but recommended).
Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together  soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Assemble crockpot: Place steak bites into the slow cooker and pour sauce mixture over the top. Stir gently to coat.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or on high for 2–3 hours, until steak is tender.
Finish & serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of broth to keep meat moist.
Freeze cooked steak bites for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Why This Recipe Works
Slow cooking: Breaks down the steak into melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Savory sauce: Soy, Worcestershire, garlic, and paprika create bold, layered flavors.
Versatility: Pairs with many sides, from creamy potatoes to rice or pasta.
Expert Tips
For a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir into the crockpot during the last 20 minutes.
Try adding sliced mushrooms or onions for extra depth of flavor.
If you like spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne.
