Ingredients
- 3 pounds sirloin steak cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ medium onion sliced thin
- 3 cloves garlic sliced thin
- 1 ounce gravy mix packet (I use Kinders)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into pats (Use unsalted butter to control salt level)
Instructions
- Trim and cut the sirloin into 1-2 inch cubes. I used sirloin kebabs from the store and cut them into smaller sizes. Be sure to remove any large or tough pieces of fat.
- Slice the onion and place in the bottom of the crock pot bowl.
- In a large skillet, over medium high heat, add the oil and wait until the oil is shimmering and hot.
- In batches, add the diced sirloin to the oil and quickly sear on two sides. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Leave about 1 inch of space between the pieces of meat so the sirloin will brown and not steam. Just sear for about 1 minute, flip, cook for another minute, and then remove to a bowl. Repeat, in batches, with the remaining sirloin until all the meat is seared. Turn off the heat and set the pan aside.
- Place the seared steak on top of the onions in the crock pot.
- Add the sliced garlic over the top and pour in the broth.
- Evenly sprinkle the gravy mixture over the meat.
- Top with the pats of butter.
- Turn on the crock pot to the low setting. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour.
- When ready, turn the crockpot to warm and serve how you like.
Notes
- Searing adds even more flavor and gives the meat a nice charred color.
- Be sure to leave space between the pieces of meat when searing or it won’t brown, it will steam the meat.
- I used sirloin kebabs from the store and cut them into smaller sizes.
- For extra flavor try a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce, your favorite steak sauce, or your favorite steak seasoning.
- Use real butter and not margarine. It has too much water and causes the sauce to separate.
