Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds sirloin steak (cut into bite size pieces)
- 1 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth (you can also use water)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
Instructions
- Cut steak into bite-size pieces and add them to the Crock Pot. Then, add butter and onions on top.
- Add garlic, beef broth, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and au jus gravy mix to a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined and pour over steak bites.
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
Notes
- Cut the raw beef into pieces that are a little larger than bite-sized because they will shrink as they cook.
- Give the muscle fibers in the beef more time to break down and the fat more time to render by cooking the steak bites on low.
- Sear the steak bites in a hot skillet for a few minutes before adding them to the slow cooker to seal in the flavor and add color to the meat.
