Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of sirloin or beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter or garlic butter (for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by selecting high-quality beef such as sirloin or chuck. Cut the beef into evenly-sized bites and mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Place the beef pieces into the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and add the butter on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and flavorful.
- Once cooked, garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch. Serve hot with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use high-quality beef for best results, but flank or round steak can be substituted.
- For a low-sodium version, reduce soy sauce or use tamari.
- To make a keto-friendly version, skip honey and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
