Servings

Ingredients
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cubed
- 4 large potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- Seasonings:
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
Step 1: Layer It Up
- In your crockpot, create layers by adding the cubed steak, diced potatoes, and diced onion.
- Sprinkle the layers generously with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 2: Add the Liquid
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot. Stir gently to ensure everything is coated with the liquid.
Step 3: Cook
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours , or until the steak is tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- During the last 15–20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dish. Cover the crockpot again to allow the cheese to melt and get gooey.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the crockpot lid and let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a complete meal. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for extra flavor.
Pro Tips
- Steak Choice: Use a tender cut like sirloin or chuck roast for best results. If using a tougher cut, cook on low for the full 8 hours to ensure tenderness.
- Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses for a different flavor profile.
- Add Veggies: Include carrots, celery, or bell peppers for added color and nutrition.
- Make Ahead: Prep the ingredients the night before, layer them in the crockpot, and refrigerate. Start cooking the next day for an easy dinner.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
