Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of beef chuck or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by trimming excess fat from the beef and cut it into evenly sized cubes. This ensures even cooking and tender bites once done.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and dried herbs. This flavorful mixture will infuse the beef with aromatic goodness.
- Add the beef cubes to the slow cooker and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and flavorful. The gentle heat ensures tender, high-protein beef bites with minimal fuss.
- Once cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish. Serve over rice, noodles, or vegetables. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of beef broth during cooking.
- Feel free to include vegetables like bell peppers or onions during the last hour of cooking for added nutrition.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings.
