Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Steak Bites
Tender, flavorful steak bites made in a slow cooker with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights!
Equipment
- Slow cooker
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch optional
- sesame seeds for garnish
- green onions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- Place the bite-sized steak pieces in your slow cooker. Spread them out to ensure even cooking.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture over the steak; stir gently to coat.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until the steak is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- If you want a thicker sauce, whisk the cornstarch with a tablespoon or two of cold water until it forms a smooth slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Garnish generously with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Feel free to experiment! Add red pepper flakes for spice, or rice vinegar for acidity. Try flank steak or chicken. Add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms at the end of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
