Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (consider low-sodium for a healthier option)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced, fresh for best aroma and taste)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (can be swapped with honey or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper (adjust spice level to taste)
For the Beef
- 2 pounds Steak Cubes (choose tender cuts like sirloin or flank)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (optional, for searing meat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and ground black pepper, stirring thoroughly until well blended to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Beef: Place the steak cubes into the marinade bowl, making sure each piece is generously coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Transfer to Slow Cooker: Transfer the marinated beef along with all the marinade into the slow cooker, spreading the pieces evenly.
- Cook: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cover. Cook for 4-5 hours, or alternatively, set to high heat and cook for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender and juicy.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and transfer the beef bites to a serving dish. Serve hot with your preferred sides.
Notes
- Great as a main dish or appetizer.
- Perfect for meal prep and low-carb diets.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers or onions into the slow cooker for extra flavor.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
- Optional searing of beef cubes before slow cooking can enhance flavor but is not necessary.
