HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT COWBOY BUTTER STEAK BITES
First, in a crockpot, add rinsed potatoes into bottom of slow cooker.
Next, add 1 lb stew meat, seasonings, beef broth, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and worcestershire sauce to crockpot. Add butter on top of meat, potatoes, and seasonings.
Then, cover and let it cook on low for 4-6 hours. I recommend letting this cook on low versus high, to help the potatoes cook thoroughly and enhance flavors in the dish.
Stir every couple hours to help prevent burning.
Finally, serve with your preferred sides or vegetables.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Cooking Time: For this crockpot cowboy butter steak bite recipe, I recommend cooking at a low temperature setting for 4-6 hours in the crockpot to make sure the potatoes and steak are cooked thoroughly.
Crockpot: For this slow cooker recipe, I used a 6 quart size crockpot. I recommend using a minimum of this size to help prevent overcrowding the ingredients.
Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Additional topping: I like to add my Parmesan Cream Sauce from my Smothered Cowboy Butter Chicken recipe, to the top of the steak bites and potatoes for added flavor. It adds a great creamy, rich flavor to the top of this dish. I recommend halfing the original amount listed in the smothered cowboy butter chicken recipe. The ingredients are provided in the recipe card below.

Would you
Double the meat for a family of 5? (Adults or teens)
yes i would!
Could I make this with chicken, do you think? 😊
yep! you would need to adjust the cooking time though. For chicken, i usually recommend 4-5 hours on low, and dicing up the potatoes smaller so they cook thoroughly.
how do i make the sauce?!
melt the butter add flour stir then add broth & other ingredients??
Hi! i have a post on the parmesan cream sauce with the full ingredient and instructions 🙂
This is in the crock pot now for dinner tonight! And it smells so good! When do you add the Parmesan sauce? After cooking?
yay! after cooking 🙂
When do you add the butter with the meat? Do you just toss it in with all the other ingredients?
yep! i add it on top after adding all of my seasonings. it helps the butter melt into the steak & potatoes and absorb all the flavor with it. 🙂
Loved this, so tasty and family approved!
so happy you enjoyed it! thank you for sharing!
It was very good. I made it today. I didn't make the cream sauce and I think that was a mistake. Next time I will definitely make the cream sauce.
Made this tonight and it was a hit with my family! Very yummy!
