Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water

Instructions:

  1. Toss the steak cubes in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until every piece is coated. Note: The oil helps the salt penetrate the meat.
  2. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker in an even layer.
  3. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the top of the meat, then place the butter cubes across the surface.
  4. Carefully pour the beef broth around the inner edges of the pot to avoid washing the garlic off the steak. Note: This keeps the flavor crust on top.
  5. Cover and cook on High for 3 hours. Until the meat is tender and the butter has fully integrated.
  6. Whisk 1 tsp of cornstarch into 1 tbsp of cold water in a small cup.
  7. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir the slurry into the pot.
  8. Stir gently until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
