Description
These Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites are tender, juicy beef bites slow-cooked in a garlic butter sauce and finished with parmesan cheese. Perfect for busy nights or cozy weekend meals, they pair well with mashed potatoes, noodles, or fresh bread.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs beef sirloin or stew meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef pieces in batches until browned on all sides.
2. Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the skillet, then stir in garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Transfer the seared steak bites to a crockpot. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the meat.
4. Add beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours until beef is fork-tender.
6. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in grated parmesan. Let it melt into the sauce.
7. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Browning the beef adds a rich, caramelized flavor—don’t skip this step unless rushed.
Freshly grated parmesan creates a smoother melt and better flavor than pre-shredded.
Leftovers thicken and deepen in flavor—store in the fridge and reheat with a splash of broth.
