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 steak bites in batches for 2–3 minutes until browned on all sides. This helps develop flavor and seals in juices. Transfer the seared steak pieces to the slow cooker.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Slow Cook: Pour the sauce over the steak bites in the slow cooker. Stir carefully to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours until the steak is fork-tender and infused with the savory sauce flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites for a fresh, herbaceous note. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite low-carb vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Searing the steak before slow cooking is optional but adds a richer flavor and better texture.
- You can adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of slow cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Serve with sides like mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.
