Ingredients

For the Casserole:

1 1/2 lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank), cut into bite-sized pieces

4 cups russet potatoes, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup beef broth

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional Garnishes:

Chopped green onions

Fresh parsley

Sour cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Brown the Steak

Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. This helps lock in flavor.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

Place half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Sprinkle half of the diced onions, garlic, and seasonings over the potatoes.

Add half of the steak pieces and top with 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, seasonings, steak, and cheese.

Step 4: Add the Liquid

In a small bowl, mix heavy cream, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 5: Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes soften and the steak remains juicy.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, give the casserole a gentle stir. Garnish with green onions, parsley, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Notes

Use the Right Cut of Steak – Sirloin or ribeye work best for tenderness.
Slice Potatoes Evenly – Ensures even cooking throughout.
Add Extra Flavor – A dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper can enhance the heat.
Avoid Overcooking – Check at the minimum cooking time to keep the steak juicy.
Storage Tip – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
