Variations Ideas
We love recipes that we can change the ingredients or use what we have. I often time will stock up on meat if I find a good deal. Try these variations the next time you want to make this recipe:
- Rather than cut up round steak, just buy stew meat. It is already pre-cut so it is perfect to toss in your crock pot.
- Sirloin Steak – Sirloin steak is a great meat to use for this recipe. Plus you can always find a good deal on this cut of meat. We have also used chuck roast for a delicious variations.
- Garlic Butter Steak Bites – When my husband grills, I will have him put garlic butter before serving. It also works great with these steak bites.
- Au Jus Gravy Mix – This is a great addition to this tender steak bites recipe as it adds flavor and thickness to the texture.
- Fresh Herbs – Feel free to add in fresh herbs to this dish. Fresh parsley, fresh rosemary or fresh thyme is a great addition. We have even added in red pepper flakes for a kick of flavor.
Step by Step Instructions
- Step 1 – Cut round steak in about one inch bite size pieces and place in slow cooker.
- Step 2 – Then pour beef broth over meat.
- Step 3 – Top with onion and garlic, salt and pepper.
- Step 4 – Then top with butter
- Step 5 – Place lid on crock pot to begin cooking.
- Step 6 – Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4, stirring occasionally.

Recipe Tips
- Beef Tips and Gravy – You can also make a gravy by stirring 1 tablespoon cornstarch in with ½ cup of water in a small bowl. Then whisk it in with the steak juices. Then pour into crock pot and turn temperature on high to allow so the juices will thicken.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup – Mix in cream of mushroom soup is a great addition to these steak bites. My sister loves to mix in mushrooms and beef broth to make crockpot beef tips and noodles.
- Add in potatoes – You can add diced potatoes or wrap potatoes to make everything right in the crock pot.
- Stir in Red wine – You can also add in some cooking red wine for additional flavor to the steak bites.
- Try adding in some Worcestershire sauce. I love cooking with Worcestershire sauce and they flavor it adds to my steak.

Easy to prepare and quite versatile as you can use your favorite cut or whatever is on sale. I’m certain that you could change the seasoning and still end up with an amazing dish. My family LOVES it! We serve it with macaroni and cheese, sauteéd asparagus and some sauteéd mushrooms. So glad that I decided to give it a try… definitely one of our go-to favorites for busy week nights.
I recommend adding them at the beginning of the cook time with the steak and they will cook as the steak cooks in the crock pot.
The whole family loved this meat! I used stew meat, and it was falling apart tender and flavorful.
Yes that will work
Will sirloin tips work for this recipe? I have a surplus that I’m trying to use.
When to add potatoes?
Excellent with egg noodles!! Yummy?
Steak bits I am definitely trying can’t wIt to see the rest of your recipe
Yes you can freeze the leftovers. You can easily half the recipe and use a smaller crock pot.
Could you freeze left overs? This looks like an awesome recipe to try, but would like to make a smaller portion to try before I invite my family over. I am just cooking for one. Would you have any tips for cooking this just for one, along with if leftovers can be frozen. Thank you so much
Soooo tasty!!! I have added this to my menu and have made it a few times now. So good!! I have poured over mashed potatoes, had with other sides or just ate by itself. So easy to make and oh the flavors! Leftovers are yummy too. Thanks for sharing;)
Mine is 6 quart, but a smaller one would work if you are making less.
Any chance you can share what quart the cooker is? I really want to make this but mine is a 2 quart since it’s just me. I really don’t need six servings.
I’m trying this steak bite recipe today
If you want to add more flavor you can brown the steak bites first.
Don’t like that the meat doesn’t have any color to it. No color equals no taste. There’s some flavor to the meat ,but not like we like. Will makes this again but in a different way.
I did not stir this while it was cooking.
Was wondering if you have to stir this, thought you weren’t suppose to open while it’s cooking?
This is fresh parsley for styling the images.
What are the green thing’s showing in the picture? The recipe doesn’t call for anything like that. Thank you
Can you add carrots to it?? I am making this tonight and wanna try to add carrots. Thanks for the recipe!
Is this made with a top round?
So good! Thanks for this recipe.? I always want steak and I don’t grill….this is PERFECTION to me!
Can you tell me how much a serving size would be? Making this tonight, but I’m dieting so I want to make sure I am only eating 1 serving size 🙂
