Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces and seasoning generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Let the seasoned beef sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the seasoned steak pieces in batches, searing for about 2-3 minutes until nicely browned.
  3. Transfer the browned steak to a slow cooker. Add sliced sweet onions and minced garlic evenly over the beef.
  4. Pour 1 cup of unsalted beef stock over the steak mixture and sprinkle the au jus gravy mix over the top, stirring slightly to combine.
  5. Place several slices of unsalted butter on top of the beef mixture in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
  7. When ready, serve the Garlic Butter Beef Bites warm over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
