Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 lbs (680 grams) top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
Vegetables and Starches:
- 1 lb (454 grams) baby red potatoes, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Seasonings and Additions:
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) beef broth
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully slice the steak into uniform, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Dice potatoes into consistent chunks that will absorb flavors and cook uniformly throughout the slow cooking process.
- Whisk beef broth with Worcestershire sauce to create a rich, savory liquid base that will enhance the meat’s natural flavors.
- Sprinkle minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the steak and potato mixture to distribute seasonings thoroughly.
- Gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to coat the ingredients and create a creamy, indulgent texture.
- Transfer the seasoned mixture to the crockpot, spreading ingredients in a level layer to promote consistent heat distribution.
- Set crockpot to low temperature for 7-8 hours or high temperature for 3-4 hours, ensuring meat becomes fork-tender and potatoes are soft.
- Once cooking is complete, let the dish rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a bright, herbal finish before serving piping hot directly from the crockpot.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold to prevent falling apart during slow cooking.
- Add crispy bacon bits or green onions as optional toppings for extra flavor and texture.
- For a lighter version, substitute lean cut of beef and use reduced-fat cheese to decrease overall calories.
