# What You'll Need:
→ Steak Bites
01 -
900 g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
→ Aromatics & Gravy
05 -
1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
06 -
5 garlic cloves, minced
07 -
250 ml unsalted beef stock
08 -
28 g au jus gravy mix (1 packet)
09 -
85 g unsalted butter, sliced
10 -
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place sirloin steak pieces into a large bowl. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, tossing to ensure all sides are coated.
02 -
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the vegetable oil. Working in batches, sear the steak bites on all sides until browned—do not cook through. Add additional oil if needed between batches.
03 -
Transfer seared steak bites to a 6-litre slow cooker. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Gently stir to distribute evenly.
04 -
Pour unsalted beef stock over the meat mixture. Evenly sprinkle au jus gravy mix on top. Arrange slices of unsalted butter over the surface.
05 -
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. Stir once an hour, if possible, to promote even cooking.
06 -
Gently stir the steak bites before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with desired side such as mashed potatoes or rice.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For optimal tenderness, cook slowly on the low setting. Searing the steak enhances flavour and colour but can be omitted if pressed for time.
02 -
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
03 -
Thyme or rosemary sprigs can be added for variation in flavour.
