Servings: 8 - 10
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Sirloin Steak or Chuck Roast* (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (not the hot one)
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
- 1 large Sweet Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
- 1-ounce packet Au Jus Gravy Mix
- 6 cloves Garlic, pressed
- 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, sliced
Garnish
- Chopped Fresh Parsley
Instructions
Prep the Beef
- Place the cubed meat into a large bowl and add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil and mix to coat all of the meat and further distribute the seasonings.
Brown the Beef
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and as many pieces of the meat that will comfortably fit. It’s okay if they touch a bit.
- Brown the meat in batches (depending on how much you are making), flipping once to brown two sides, and add to the slow cooker.
Sauté the Onion
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until they have a little color on them and just start to soften (about 5 minutes). Add a little more oil, if needed.
- Add the onion to the crockpot and mix the beef and onion together.
Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and au jus mix.
- Press the garlic into the broth mixture and stir. Then pour it over the meat and onion and stir.
- Place the sliced butter over the top of the meat.
Slow Cook
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours. Try to stir every 60 minutes or so to allow all of the meat a chance to braise in the garlic butter sauce.
Serve
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or even pasta, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
*Use any steak or beef roast that becomes tender with low and slow cooking.
