How to Make Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes

Step 1: Prep Ingredients

  • Cut steak into bite-sized cubes.

  • Halve or quarter potatoes depending on size.

  • Mince garlic and melt butter.

Step 2: Assemble in the Slow Cooker

  • Place steak and potatoes in the slow cooker.

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

  • Pour butter mixture over steak and potatoes and toss gently to coat.

Step 3: Slow Cook

  • Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until steak is tender and potatoes are cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

  • Spoon steak and potatoes onto plates.

  • Drizzle remaining butter sauce from the crockpot over the top.

  • Garnish with fresh parsley, Parmesan, or red pepper flakes if desired.

Pro Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Steak Bites

  • Use tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for best results; avoid tougher cuts that need longer cooking.

  • Baby potatoes work best—they cook evenly and stay firm.

  • Optional: for more caramelized flavor, sear steak cubes quickly in a pan before slow cooking.

  • Adjust garlic and butter amounts to taste—more for extra rich flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a green salad or steamed veggies

  • Pair with buttery dinner rolls or garlic bread

  • Great for meal prep – divide into containers with veggies for a balanced lunch

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

  • Reheat gently in the microwave or stovetop, adding a splash of broth or butter if needed.

  • Not ideal for freezing due to butter sauce texture, but steak can be frozen pre-cooked separately.
