Servings: 4
Equipment
- Skillet Large
Ingredients
- 3 Pounds sirloin steak or chuck roast, cut into bite-size chunks
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 Cloves garlic minced
- 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Cup beef broth
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- fresh parsley to serve
Instructions
Sear the Steak
- Season the steak bites with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the steak bites until browned on all sides.
Fill the Slow Cooker
- Transfer the seared steak into the slow cooker.
- Add the butter, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and the broth to the slow cooker, and stir to mix.
Cook Until Tender
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until the steak is tender.
Thicken the Sauce
- Stir the cornstarch with a Tablespoon of water to make a slurry.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry in during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking.
- If it’s still not thick enough, use a bit more cornstarch slurry, adding it gradually and letting it cook until the sauce looks glossy and thick enough.
Serve and Enjoy
- Let the dish cool for 5 minutes, then serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Dry the steak well: Patting the meat dry helps it brown instead of steam.
Avoid crowding the pan: Brown the steak in batches so each piece gets good color.
Taste at the end: Adjust salt once the sauce has reduced and concentrated.
Watch the thickness: Add a little more broth if the gravy thickens too much.
