  • Total Time: 5 hours 15 minutes (low) or 3 hours 15 minutes (high)
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 lbs Sirloin Tip Steak (or chuck roast, cubed)
  • 2 lbs Potatoes (cut into 2-inch pieces)

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Steak Seasoning

Other Ingredients

  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter (sliced)
  • Green Onion (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cube the sirloin tip steak into bite-sized pieces and cut the potatoes into roughly 2-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In a slow cooker, add the cubed steak, potato pieces, kosher salt, minced garlic, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, steak seasoning, and sliced unsalted butter. Mix everything well to evenly distribute seasonings and butter.
  3. Cook on Low or High: Cover and cook on low heat for 5-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. Cooking low and slow yields the most tender steak bites. Start checking for doneness at 5 hours on low or 3 hours on high to prevent overcooking or drying out the meat.
  4. Serve: Once done, garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the garlic butter steak bites and potatoes plain or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Omitting kosher salt is recommended if using salted butter to avoid over-salting.
  • Steak seasoning can be adjusted or substituted with your preferred spice blend.
  • Checking the meat tenderness early helps prevent drying out the steak bites.
  • For a richer flavor, use higher-quality unsalted butter or add a splash of beef broth before cooking.
  • This recipe works well with other similar cuts of beef such as chuck roast.
