Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes are tender steak bites and buttery potatoes, all swimming in a rich garlic butter sauce that practically melts into every bite. It turns a full steak dinner into a true set-it-and-forget-it meal.
It’s an incredibly simple ingredient list, so you likely already have most of what you need on hand. This is the perfect dinner for busy days when you still want something hearty and satisfying waiting for you at the end of the day. Serve it as is for a complete one-pot meal, or pair it with a simple salad for something even more filling.
Helpful Tips
- Sear the steak first for extra flavor: While optional, browning the steak in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker builds deeper flavor into the finished dish.
- Cut potatoes evenly: Aim for similar-sized potato chunks so everything cooks at the same rate and you don’t end up with some pieces mushy and others underdone.
- Check for tenderness before serving: Every slow cooker runs a little differently, so test the meat and potatoes at the minimum cook time and add extra time in small increments if needed.

Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin or chuck roast cubed
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil if browning the meat
- 1 pound potatoes cut in chunks
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup salted butter sliced (1 stick)
- 2 green onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Optional: Heat oil in a skillet until hot. Add the steak cubes and brown to sear on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You’re not aiming to cook it all the way through, just brown it. You can omit this step if you choose.
- Add all of the ingredients, except the green onions, to the slow cooker. Mix everything together.
- Cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5 hours. If the meat and potatoes are not sufficiently tender at this point, continue cooking for another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve garnished with green onions.
