Ingredients
-
1 ½ lbs of steak (such as sirloin or flank steak), cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
2 teaspoons Copper Knoll Mediterranean Lavender Spice Blend
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
½ cup beef broth
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
Instructions
-
Start by cutting your steak into bite-sized pieces.
-
In a large bowl, toss the steak with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Copper Knoll Mediterranean Lavender Spice Blend, black pepper, and salt.
-
Transfer the seasoned steak bites to your Crockpot. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and beef broth, stirring gently to combine.
-
Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the steak bites are tender and cooked through.
-
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Stir it into the Crockpot and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Once your steak bites are done, serve them hot over your favorite side dishes.
Optional Add-On: I like to sauté mushrooms in butter until golden brown and serve them over the steak bites, then finish with an extra sprinkle of our lavender spice blend for even more flavor.
