Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Vegetables
- 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 large russet potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
Seasonings and Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Steak: In a large bowl, season the cubed sirloin steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss well to coat each piece evenly, ensuring the flavors penetrate the meat.
- Layer the Ingredients: Place the diced potatoes and chopped onion at the bottom of the crockpot to create a base layer. Then evenly distribute the seasoned steak cubes on top of the vegetables.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the steak and potatoes in the crockpot.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or alternatively on high heat for 4 to 5 hours. Cook until the steak is tender and the potatoes are soft to the touch.
- Add Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the slow-cooked steak and potatoes. Cover again and allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Serve: Once melted, serve the bake hot by drizzling sour cream on top and garnishing with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute sirloin steak with ribeye or chuck steak for different textures and flavors.
- For extra veggies, consider adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms along with the potatoes and onions.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes when seasoning the steak.
- Using low-sodium beef broth will help control the salt level if needed.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
