  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes - 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for smoky flavor)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or red wine
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Chop the beef into uniform bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and herbs. Marinate for 30 minutes if desired.
  2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Transfer seasoned beef into the slow cooker. Pour in garlic butter mixture, remaining butter, and beef broth or red wine. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until beef is tender and flavorful.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve with your favorite sides like vegetables, mashed potatoes, or salads.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinate the beef for 30 minutes or longer.
  • You can add vegetables such as peppers, mushrooms, or green beans during the last hour of cooking for added nutrients and flavor.
  • Use different cuts of beef like ribeye or flank steak based on availability; ensure uniform cutting for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
