- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Additional:
- 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak bites in batches for 1–2 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned steak to the slow cooker.
