High Protein Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites

Introduction

High Protein Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites deliver irresistible flavor and effortless meal prep—perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or feeding a crowd. With tender, protein-packed beef enveloped in garlicky, buttery goodness, this dish transforms simple ingredients into a melt-in-your-mouth experience with minimal hands-on time.

Why You’ll Love These Garlic Butter Beef Bites

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and appeal: lean beef cubes are slow-cooked until juicy and ultra-tender, then finished with a lush garlic butter sauce. Each bite is rich yet balanced, making it a lighter alternative to steak with all the decadence you crave. Plus, using your slow cooker makes meal prep a breeze, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply throughout the day.

Essential Prep for Maximum Flavor

To guarantee consistent, bite-sized beef cubes and uniform veggies, employ the versatility of the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This tool not only saves time but ensures everything cooks evenly. Start by quickly searing the beef in a hot pan to lock in juices and deepen the flavor before transferring the cubes to your slow cooker.

Cooking and Finishing Touches

Layer the seared beef cubes with aromatics and a butter-based sauce in your slow cooker. For a perfect no-stick experience and easy cleanup, line the insert with a sheet of the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. Cook low and slow until the beef is fork-tender. If you want to check the doneness without disrupting the cooking process, use a meat thermometer like the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking for instant, accurate readings.

When it’s time to serve, ladle the garlicky, buttery beef bites into a stylish container like the Bentgo Salad Container—ideal for meal prepping or taking your protein-rich lunch on the go.

Serving Suggestions to Complete the Meal

Pair your beef bites with steamed veggies, over mashed cauliflower, or with a crisp green salad for a balanced plate. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon brightens up this hearty dish. Leftovers keep beautifully in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, retaining their moisture and flavor for days.

Recap: Why These High Protein Beef Bites Are a Must-Try

Succulent, slow-cooked beef in garlicky butter sauce—delicious, filling, and fuss-free. Whether meal prepping, entertaining, or treating yourself to a protein-packed dinner, these beef bites deliver every time.

Instructions

1. Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or in your SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high heat. Work in batches to quickly sear beef cubes until browned on all sides (do not cook through—just brown). Transfer to the slow cooker.
3. If using, add chopped veggies to the slow cooker with the beef.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, onion, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour mixture over beef cubes in the slow cooker and toss to coat evenly.
5. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours (or high for 2–3 hours) until beef is fork-tender.
6. If desired, check the internal temperature of the beef for doneness using the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking (look for a temp around 195°F for ultra-tender bites).
7. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving and garnish with more parsley if desired.
