Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef steak (sirloin, flank, or round), cut into ½-inch strips
• 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Foil Sheets

Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12–14 inches long each. Lay them flat on your work surface so they’re ready for assembling the steak packets.

2. Season the Beef

Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Transfer the beef to a large mixing bowl, add the Cajun seasoning, and toss thoroughly until all the pieces are evenly coated.

3. Divide the Steak

Distribute the seasoned steak strips evenly among the four prepared foil sheets. Try to arrange the meat in a relatively even layer so it cooks consistently.

4. Add the Melted Butter

Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the steak in each packet, making sure every portion receives some of the buttery mixture. This helps keep the meat moist while adding plenty of rich flavor.

5. Seal the Packets

Bring the long edges of each foil sheet together and fold them tightly. Fold and crimp the shorter ends as well, creating securely sealed packets that help retain the juices during cooking.

6. Cook in the Slow Cooker

Carefully place the foil packets inside the slow cooker with the seams facing upward. Cover with the lid and cook until the steak reaches your desired tenderness:

• LOW: 4–6 hours
• HIGH: 2–3 hours

Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness and cut of beef, so check that the meat is thoroughly cooked before serving.

7. Open and Serve

Using tongs, carefully transfer the hot packets to serving plates. Open each packet slowly, keeping your hands and face away from the escaping steam.

Spoon the flavorful Cajun butter juices over the steak and serve immediately while hot.

Serving Suggestions

These buttery Cajun steak packets taste delicious with a variety of sides:

• Fluffy steamed white rice to absorb the flavorful juices.
• Creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting combination.
• Roasted or steamed vegetables for a colorful side.
