1. Season & Sear (Optional but Worth It!)

• Pat steak cubes dry, then toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat and sear steak bites for 1-2 minutes per side (just to brown—don’t cook through!).

2. Slow Cook to Perfection

• Transfer steak to the crockpot.
• Add beef broth, butter, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, and onion powder.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours (or HIGH for 1-1.5 hours).

3. Thicken (Optional)

• If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch + water, stir into the crockpot, and cook 10 more minutes.

4. Serve & Enjoy!

• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over:
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Buttered noodles
  • Rice
  • Crusty bread (for dipping!)
