At what, point do I freeze the Steak Bites? Before cooking and if so do I include all of the ingredients? If after how long can I freeze it for?
Thanks,
Pamela

Hello! I wanted to say how great my steak came out! I am doing the 21day fix and looking for bulk ways of cooking meats and I LOVE my crockpot! I made steak using this method today and OMG it is PERFECT! This will be great for "chipotle" bowls and/or just a steak dinner throughout the week! Thanks!!
Melinda
Love easy recipes! What size crock pot did you use? 4 qt?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes, we did. Thanks!
Christina
I'm making this today will post pics when done.
Twig
Sounds tasty, but It looks like you fried the cubes before putting them in the crockpot, otherwise they would turn out greyish I asume. Am I corect? Greetings from Holland!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
They were not cooked prior to adding them to the crockpot 🙂
Kim Rice
Do you stir them at anytime while cooking?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No you don't!
Jenna
Can you use London broil?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
You can use any cut of meat that you want. Thanks!
Rachel
If you don't stir, the seasonings just sit on the top layer. How do the steak pieces underneath become seasoned?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Crockpot Magic! 🙂
Susan
I love so many of your recipes, but would ask if it is possible to post pictures of the finished dishes?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
We do try to do that (when we remember too).
Mary
Are they dry?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No
Aubrey
Can you add sliced potatoes?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes! I would suggest cubes.
Debbie
We have steak fondue every Christmas Eve with different dipping sauces but this year due to family health issues I'm going to try to make it easier(fondue is fun but just won't work this year). This looks perfect, I can do the meat bites ahead of time in the crock pot and we can still use our fondue forks to grab the meat pieces and drag them through our favorite dips(-: Thanks!
Kristen
if we’d like to cook the steaks to a medium rare, should we cook them for a shorter duration?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes!
carol
How long do you cook for medium rare
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I am not sure. Sorry! I would say 1/2 the time.
Jane
I just put this in the crockpot. I am not much of a cook and can use all the help I can get. Just a question - it seems like a very small amount of liquid for so much meat. Is it enough for the full 4 pounds? I have read above not to stir and that the meat will be tasty underneath the layers too - even though seasoning on top. I am really trying to make my family a nice meal tonight even though a lack the cooking skills!!!! Thank you!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
No need for additional liquids. Trust us 🙂 You can always check earlier to be sure it doesn't over cook too.
Kari Mayfield
can I use a little larger crockpot?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
What size do you have?
Tara
Made these tonight and they turned out great! We used them as the steak in our steak burritos with rice and cheese! Will definitely be making again.
Sue McGee
These were really bland. Not sure if I did something wrong? I followed the recipe exactly.?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
So sorry you felt this way. You can always add as much spice as you want and try again but this is s wildly popular recipe for kids.
Shari

Melissa@StockpilingMoms

What level of doneness does this recipe prodice? I prefer medium, rather than more well done. (Sorry if this posted twice, it’s not showing up on my screen)
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Very well done. I would suggest decreasing the temp if you like medium. But this is a very tender recipe once finished.
Jen
I loved the steak bites but my husband and my daughter said they were dry? I don't know how they got that when they were sitting in a pool of their own juices and the delicious butter.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
What cut of meat did you use?
Bob Hackman
Do you eat the steak with or without the broth? Do I hust toss the broth when done cooking?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Either way you desire 🙂 You can always use some cornstarch to thicken the broth and turn it into a nice gravy.
Steven Nelson
Do you toss the broth when done or does it go with the chicken as a sauce?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Either way you desire 🙂 You can always use some cornstarch to thicken the broth and turn it into a nice gravy.
Brian
What do you think about adding a bit of brown sugar? Would that compliment the flavor or ruin it?
Melissa Jennings
Hmmm sounds yummy to me!
Sharon Wolfe
Making this tonight! Just to be clear - is this for 3/4 lb of meat or 3 to 4 lbs of meat?
Thank you!

3 to 4 lbs.
Eileen

Melissa Jennings

Maren
How about trying this with venison?
Christine Carus
I'm trying to make Freezer Dump meals. The recipe says to place stuff on top of the meat in the slow cooker.
1.Can you suggest how to put in freezer bag?
2.I have beef bone broth powder, as well as Better Than Boullion. Can you suggest how I might add those? Add water prior to freezing or when I cook it? Thank you!
Melissa Jennings
Just dump your ingredients in the bag. I would add some beef bone powder for extra flavor you can add that when you freeze. Add your water when you cook. Hope this helps.
Kala
Would it be okay to add in baby carrots in the crock pot?
Melissa Jennings
Yes! You could do potatoes too.

I used 2# stew meat and added about 5 medium russet potatoes, cubed. The rest of the recipe I followed, with my crockpot on low for about 7 hours. The meat lost all its juices and was very dry, despite all the juice in the crockpot. It looked gray and gross, not like the pictures here. There was also zero flavor going on.
