Instructions
Making High Protein Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Beef: Cut the chuck roast into bite-sized pieces. Trim any excess fat for better flavor integration.
2. Season the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beef pieces in the spice mix until evenly coated.
3. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned beef into the slow cooker.
4. Combine Sauces: In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
5. Pour Sauce Over Beef: Drizzle the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Ensure all pieces are well-coated.
6. Set the Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, depending on your schedule.
7. Check for Tenderness: About 30 minutes before serving, check if the beef is fork-tender. If it is, you can prepare to serve.
8. Garnish: Once cooking time is complete, serve the beef bites hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flair.
9. Optional Heat: If desired, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the beef bites for an extra kick.
10. Serve: Use large spoons to serve the bites, collecting the buttery sauce to drizzle on top.
