Description
This slow cooker sirloin steak is tender and flavorful, making it a perfect comfort meal to serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small sweet onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup unsalted beef stock
- 1 oz au jus gravy mix (1 packet)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (thinly sliced)
- fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper in a large bowl, tossing to coat evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak in batches for 2-3 minutes, browning on all sides without overcrowding the pan. Transfer seared steak to the crockpot.
- Add the sliced onion and garlic to the crockpot, gently tossing with the steak to distribute evenly.
- Pour the beef stock over the meat, then sprinkle the au jus gravy mix across the top.
- Arrange the butter slices over the surface of the meat and liquid.
- Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
- Test a piece of steak for tenderness at the minimum cooking time. If not fork-tender, continue cooking in 30-minute increments until desired tenderness is reached.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve warm over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a hearty meal.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet while searing to achieve a good brown color on the steak.
