  • Yield: 6 1x
  • Method: Dinner
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds sirloin steak or beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved or cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 stick butter, sliced
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Season the steak cubes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the steak for 5-7 minutes, then transfer to the crockpot.
  2. In the same skillet, cook diced onion until softened (3-4 minutes), add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds. Transfer to the crockpot.
  3. Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the crockpot, add dried thyme and stir. Arrange halved baby potatoes around the steak.
  4. Top with sliced butter. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until steak is tender and potatoes are cooked through. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For best tenderness, cook on low heat. Sear the meat beforehand for extra flavor if time allows. Add green beans in the last hour if desired. Stir occasionally during cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare Crockpot Beef Bites & Potatoes ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the ingredients in your slow cooker insert the night before. Cover and refrigerate it overnight, then simply place the insert into the base and cook as directed. This Crockpot Beef Bites & Potatoes recipe is perfect for easy meal prep.

What cut of beef is best for this recipe?

Stew meat or chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes works best. These cuts become wonderfully tender during the long, slow cooking process, making them ideal for your Crockpot Beef Bites & Potatoes.

Can I cook this on high instead of low?

You can cook on high for about 3-4 hours instead of low for 6-8 hours. Check for tenderness, as the beef should easily shred with a fork. The potatoes should also be completely soft when pierced.
