Ingredients Needed
- Stew Meat: Chuck roast, arm roast, and shank steak are some of the most common varieties of stew meat.
- Creamer Potatoes: Another kind of potatoes would work, but I like the tender and creamy texture you get with creamer potatoes.
- Garlic and Onion: Fresh minced garlic is always recommended.
- Creole Seasoning: Provides a bold and savory blend of flavors.
- Onion Soup Mix: Adds so much flavor to the sauce.
- Unsalted Butter: Creates the perfect sauce mixed with the soup mix and juices from the beef.
How to Make Slow Cooker Steak Bites
- Step 1: In the bottom of the slow cooker, combine beef cubes with potatoes, seasonings, garlic, and onions in the slow cooker.
- Step 2: Add butter and cook on the high setting for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
Recipe Tips
- You can also use Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Other options for the stew meat could be sirloin steak, round steak, or flat iron steak.
- Serve these juicy steak bites over egg noodles, with green beans, or with mashed potatoes for even more starchy goodness.
- A nice crusty bread is also a great side for this easy weeknight meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
Recipe FAQ's
Because of the way these steak bites are cooked, it's unlikely that they'll end up undercooked. If you want to test to be sure, use a digital thermometer to check for an internal temperature of about 145 degrees F for medium-done steak bites.
Yes, as long as you fully cook the steak bites it's perfectly safe to add them to the slow cooker raw. Slow cooking is a great way to get perfectly tender bites of steak every time without fail!
Definitely—carrots, onions, or mushrooms are great add-ins. Just cut them into larger chunks so they don’t break down too much.
