Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites Recipe

What Cut of Steak Should I Use for Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites?

Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until the steak is tender and infused with flavor. Avoid overcooking or the meat can get mushy.

About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Once it melts into the sauce, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve.
