  • Total Time: 10 minutes + 6-8 hours
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of beef sirloin or chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons of honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary
  • Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
  • Instructions

    1. Begin by cutting the beef into small, uniform bites to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
    2. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, melted butter, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and dried herbs. Whisk until smooth.
    3. Place the beef bites into the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef, making sure all pieces are coated.
    4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and juicy.
    5. Once cooked, transfer the beef bites to a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes for a slight crisp on the edges if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.

    Notes

    • For extra flavor, add a splash of beef broth during cooking for more moisture.
    • Use a quick-release method if your slow cooker has a pressure function.
    • Replace soy sauce with tamari for gluten-free diet options.
