Key Tips for Flavorful, Tender Steak Bites
Choose a well-marbled cut like sirloin or ribeye for the juiciest results. For even, quick prep, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to dice onions and peppers in seconds, ensuring uniform sautéing and a flavorful base.
For searing the steak before slow cooking (essential for great texture and taste), a preheated Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet provides the necessary high heat.

After searing the beef, everything goes into the crockpot—garlic, butter, onions, broth, and herbs. Set it and forget it, returning to a kitchen filled with delicious aroma.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Using a Mueller Pro-Series Vegetable Chopper, quickly and evenly dice the onion (and bell pepper, if using).
- Pat steak cubes dry. Preheat your Lodge Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and in batches, sear steak bites for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Transfer seared beef to your crockpot. Add diced onion, garlic, optional vegetables, beef broth, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until steak is tender and richly flavored. (Alternatively, cook on high for about 2-3 hours.)
- For maximum juiciness, check doneness with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer. Steak bites should be 135°F-145°F for medium-rare to medium.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve steak bites hot. Store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Containers for easy reheating.
