Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Tips (or Steak Bites) are tender, juicy chunks of beef slow-cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce with savory onions and au jus gravy mix. To prepare, sirloin or chuck steak is cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and then browned in batches for extra flavor.
The seared meat along with thinly sliced sweet onions and garlic is added to the crockpot, then beef broth and au jus gravy mix are poured over the top. Slices of unsalted butter are laid on top before covering and slow cooking on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
The result is melt-in-your-mouth beef with a garlicky, buttery gravy perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. This easy, hands-off recipe is ideal for busy weeknights or comforting weekend dinners.
