Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs stew meat or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

Method
 

  1. Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in olive oil over medium-high heat in two batches until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, melt 2 tbsp butter in the skillet, add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Pour in broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 1 minute, then pour over steak.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours. In the last 20 minutes, stir in the cornstarch slurry and let the sauce thicken.
  4. Ladle the steak bites and sauce over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice and serve hot.

Notes

If you’re using a thicker cut of chuck, the steak bites might need closer to 4 hours on high to reach fork-tender. You can also let the dish sit on warm for up to an hour before serving; the sauce will stay silky.
