02 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

# How To Make It:

01 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and smoked paprika.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The meat becomes so tender you can cut it with a spoon, no joke
  • Everything happens in one pot with barely ten minutes of actual work
  • The sauce that develops is worth drinking straight from a spoon
02 -
  • Skipping the searing step will still give you tender meat, but you will lose that deep, caramelized flavor that makes this recipe exceptional
  • Crowding the pan when searing causes the steak to steam instead of brown, so work in batches if your pan is full
  • The sauce will thicken as it cools, so do not worry if it looks thinner than you expect right out of the slow cooker
03 -
  • Cut your steak into uniform cubes so everything cooks at the same rate
  • Let the meat come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before searing for better browning
