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. Transfer the browned steak bites to a slow cooker.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful sauce blend.
- Slow Cook: Pour the sauce over the steak bites in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat the steak evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the steak bites with fresh chopped parsley for added color and freshness. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite low-carb vegetable sides.
Notes
- Searing the steak bites before slow cooking enhances flavor and texture but can be skipped for convenience.
- Adjust seasoning in the sauce to suit your taste preferences, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or smoked paprika for smokiness.
- For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Use fresh parsley or substitute with cilantro or chives for different garnish flavors.
- Suitable to serve with low-carb vegetables for a diabetic-friendly meal option.
