Honey Garlic Steak Bites in Slow Cooker Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2-3 Tbsp. cooking oil (can use sesame oil)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 cup salted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. 1

   Sear the steak bites: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin steak pieces seasoned with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak bites on all sides until a browned crust forms, about 2 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding by searing in batches. Transfer the browned steak bites to your slow cooker.

2. 2

   Prepare the honey garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined. Pour this sauce evenly over the steak bites in the slow cooker.

3. 3

   Add butter for richness: Distribute the salted butter cubes on top of the steak and sauce mixture in the slow cooker to infuse flavor and richness during cooking.

4. 4

   Slow cook the steak: Cover the slow cooker and set to LOW heat. Cook the steak bites for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and juicy.

5. 5

   Finish and serve: After cooking, gently stir the steak bites to combine the sauce and melted butter. Serve warm on their own or over rice or vegetables for a delicious meal.
