Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

Instructions
1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the sirloin steak, then cut the meat into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well-incorporated.
3. Place the steak cubes in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the top, stirring gently to ensure the steak is evenly coated.
