Different Ways to Make Beef Roast Bites

Another super handy thing about making roast beef bites in your crockpot is you don’t HAVE to use JUST your crock pot. You can use:

• The slow cooker
• A multi-cooker
• Or an electric pressure cooker (aka an Instant Pot works too!)

AND if you grab the printable directions, you’ll see there are freezer directions provided.

So, you’re getting a super versatile, budget-friendly meal that can be cooked in all sorts of appliances. Win-WIN-WIN!

Making Beef Roast Bites in the Crock Pot

Making these roast beef bites in your crockpot isn’t a big.You CAN just toss everything in and cook it for 8 hours. But this isn’t going to give you the best flavor.

Searing the meat first is going to a very distinctive,deeper flavor to this dish. So, adding 5 minutes to your prep time and sautéing the coated meat in the butter is well worth it.

How to Make Roast Beef Bites in Your Multi-Cooker

Using a multi-cooker is a lot like using an instant pot or any other electric pressure cooker. Except you get the benefit of only one pot to wash and the benefits of crockpot cooking too.

You can also use this method with an electric pressure cooker.But pressure cookers scare some folks, and generally slow cookers don’t.

Roast Beef Bites in the Pressure Cooker

To make these beef roast bites in your pressure cooker, you just need to follow the printable directions. You’ll be using your sauté function and the pressure-cooking function for this recipe.

Quick Side Note on Pressure Cooking

Now honestly, I’m pretty new to using the electric pressure cooker. Not like yesterday, but in the last couple years.

I’ve been using the slow cooker for over 20 years. So (to me) a couple years is new. So, I still research a lot. And read about tips and tricks, try them and practice…practice…and practice a little more.

But the bare bones, basics tips and tricks for instant pots is where to start. I’ll be adding my own pages on the instant pot, electric pressure cookers, multi-cookers and the like. But not before I feel I’m mastered the processes.

So, I’m getting the information on how to sauté in the electric pressure cooker straight from the horses mouth.

More About Pressure Cooker Beef Roast Bites

You can also use the multi-cooker directions if you prefer. I (personally) think using either the slow cooker method OR the multi-cooker method will give you more flavor.

BUT if you forget to toss your beef roast bites into the crockpot before you leave for the day…the instant pot/pressure cooker version is done (start to finish) in about 45 minutes.

I do NOT recommend just doing these on the stove-top. The dish is very tough and rather gross.
