Tender, juicy ribeye steak cooked low and slow in the crockpot with garlic, butter, and savory seasonings. This easy slow cooker steak recipe delivers rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture with minimal prep—perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak and Seasonings

  • 2–3 ribeye steaks (about 1½–2 lbs total)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

For Searing

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Slow Cooker Liquids and Additions

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear ribeye steaks for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. This step adds flavorful crust and depth to the dish.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the seared steaks in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
  3. Season the Steaks: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika evenly over the steaks.
  4. Add Liquids and Aromatics: Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the steaks. Add minced garlic, sliced butter, and fresh thyme or rosemary on top for extra flavor.
  5. Cook Slowly: Cover the crockpot and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours. Cooking low and slow ensures tender, juicy steak with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  6. Serve: Spoon the flavorful cooking juices over the steaks before serving to enhance moisture and taste.

Notes

  • Searing the steaks adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
  • The ribeye will be very tender but will have a pot-roast texture, not the grilled steak texture.
  • Add sliced onions or mushrooms to the crockpot for additional flavor if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
