What Ingredients You Will Need
Here’s what each ingredient brings to the recipe:
- Steak: Tender, juicy bites that soak up all the buttery garlic flavor as they slow cook.
- Salt and Pepper: Simple seasonings that enhance the beef’s natural flavor.
- Garlic: Adds bold, savory flavor that mellows into buttery sweetness as it cooks.
- Onion: Brings mild sweetness and depth to the sauce.
- Beef Broth: Keeps the steak moist and creates a flavorful base for the garlic butter sauce.
- Butter: Adds richness and a silky texture; finishing with butter makes the sauce glossy and irresistible.

How to Make Steak Bites
- Set it and Forget it: Place all the ingredients with 2 tablespoons of garlic butter in the crockpot for 5-8 hours. Stir one time.
- Broil: Remove the meat from the crockpot to an oven-safe pan with the remaining garlic butter and place it under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp it up a bit.
- Mix: Add the meat back to the crockpot and serve.
What to Serve with Garlic Steak Bites
I’m a meat and potatoes kinda gal, so I love serving these garlic butter beef tips with creamy mashed potatoes, crispy baked potatoes or buttery roasted potatoes. If you aren’t a potato fan, this is also great over rice or pasta.
Then I like to balance the meal out with some vegetable side dish like roasted veggies or a lighter spinach and strawberry salad.
And of course, you can’t have a cozy comfort food meal without some homemade potato rolls or a loaf of crust artisan bread!

Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for 4-5 days.
This tender beef also freezes extremely well. Let it cool completely and then place it in a ziploc bag. Squeeze as much air out as you can and then place it in the freezer. It will keep for up to 3 months.
Let frozen steak bites thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat leftovers in a skillet on the stove top with a little beef broth until heated through.

There’s something so comforting about a dinner that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. These Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Steak Bites check all the boxes — tender, juicy, flavorful, and family-approved! Whether you’re serving them over mashed potatoes, rice, or with roasted veggies, they make weeknight dinner feel special without the stress.
