Steak Bites are one of the best things to come out of a slow cooker! The steak is ultra tender, and the garlic butter sauce is decadent and perfect with your favorite sides.

Key Ingredients

Raw Steak Pieces: This recipe calls for a sirloin steak cut, which is a lean, flavorful cut of beef. Searing the steak before slow cooking helps to lock in the flavors and give the meat a nice browned color. I like to look for steak that isn’t too fatty..
Au Jus Gravy: This is not a thick gravy, it’s a thinner gravy mix normally used for French Dip Sandwiches, it has amazing rich beef flavor.
Butter: Butter always makes things better and that’s certainly no different with these crockpot beef tips.
Seasonings: Garlic, salt, and pepper will flavor the beef cubes and help create a flavorful gravy.

Cook’s Notes

This recipe is very versatile. Here are my tips and variations:

This recipe may seem expensive, but I often find value packs of sirloin steaks to be as expensive as a chuck roast. This recipe that feeds a few people is cheaper than dining out.
You can use other tender cuts of beef such as tenderloin, ribeye or even strip steak if you prefer. You can even use beef stew meat for a cheaper version.
Use Cajun seasoning instead of any salt in this recipe.
Make ranch steak bites by substituting the au jus packet for a ranch packet.
Mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions are great additions.

My Serving Suggestions

Here are my favorite ways to serve these tender steak bites:

Serve the steak bites with the sauce from the slow cooker and over a bed of mashed potatoes, steamed white rice, or egg noodles. (or favorite is white rice).
Other side dishes that go great are baked potatoes, slow cooker mac and cheese or scalloped potatoes.
You can also serve this on top of a healthy salad or wrapped in a tortilla.
