How To Make the Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites

Step 1: Brown the Steak Bites

Sear the steak bites quickly in a hot skillet with a little butter. This adds a layer of caramelized flavor that deepens as they slow-cook.

Step 2: Transfer to the Crockpot

Place the browned steak bites in your crockpot. Add the rest of the butter, minced garlic, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

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.

Step 4: Add the Parmesan and Garnish

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.

How to Serve and Store Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites

These steak bites are satisfying enough to stand alone, but they shine when paired with a cozy base. Serve them over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy white rice, egg noodles, or tucked into warm garlic bread for a next-level sandwich.
