Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2:<\/strong> Heat a large skillet with half of the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak bites in the hot skillet in batches, and then place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add more oil to the pan if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3:<\/strong> After you’ve seared all the steak and added it to the crockpot, add onion and garlic, tossing them with the steak bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4:<\/strong> Pour the unsalted beef stock over the steak pieces. Sprinkle the au jus packet over the top. Lay thin slices of butter on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5:<\/strong> Put the lid on your slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours. Stir the steak every 30 minutes or so, if you can. Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley (optional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serve these tender steak bites with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or egg noodles. The flavorful gravy pairs wonderfully with potatoes and noodles! <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more side dish options, try my Stovetop Mac and Cheese<\/a>, Old-Fashioned Potato Salad<\/a>, or a crunchy Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Cheddar<\/a>. Green beans or a simple side side salad<\/a> also pair well with this steak recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Refrigerator:<\/strong> Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freezer:<\/strong> Freeze these cooked steak bites for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reheating:<\/strong> You can reheat these easy crockpot beef tips in the slow cooker, in a pan on the stove, or in the microwave until warmed through. I recommend reheating on the stove since reheating meat in the microwave sometimes gives it a rubbery texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add more herbs.<\/strong> Make this slow cooker beef tips recipe more flavorful by adding a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spruce it up before serving.<\/strong> Boost that flavor even more right before serving by topping with a heaping tablespoon of pesto or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add mushrooms.<\/strong> Stir in some seared mushrooms a few minutes before serving for added texture and flavor. It’s an inexpensive way to stretch this dish even further!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make it keto-friendly.<\/strong> Leave out the au jus and add more flavor with one of the options mentioned above like additional herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or seared mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make it a dump and go recipe.<\/strong> If you’re in a hurry, skip the searing step, dump everything into your crockpot, set it, and forget it until dinnertime. Ultimate easy dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cook with potatoes.<\/strong> Get the complete meal done all at once! Quarter some potatoes and add them right to the slow cooker with the steak bites to minimize your time in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try with cream of mushroom soup.<\/strong> Instead of the au jus, you may like the steak bites with cream of mushroom soup and beef stock. Thicken it with a little cornstarch, and you’ll have lots of sauce to serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a little spice.<\/strong> Sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the au jus and butter before cooking to add just a slight kick of heat to these delicious beef tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Absolutely! Stew beef makes delicious steak bites, and you have the added convenience of not needing to cut it into pieces before searing. <\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can put raw steak in the slow cooker. Searing the meat first locks in the flavor and juices, but if you don’t have time for searing, you can just dump the steak pieces in the crockpot right away. The dish will be less flavorful but still quite tasty.<\/p> <\/div> Sirloin, round steak, stew meat, or chuck roast are all great options for making steak bites in the slow cooker.<\/p> <\/div> If your steak is chewy, you haven’t cooked it long enough to break down the collagen. Return the steak to the crockpot, cooking in 30-minute increments until fork tender. Make sure there’s some liquid in the slow cooker. Add a little more broth if you need to.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"Steak](\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Slow-Cooker-Steak-Bites.jpg\")
