Ingredients

For the Dish:

You’ll need 2 lbs of sirloin steak, cut into cubes. This cuts down on cooking time and makes it perfect for slow cooking, as the steak becomes incredibly tender. Add 4 large potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces. These will absorb the flavors from the steak and broth as they cook, becoming soft and flavorful. You’ll also need 1 onion, chopped into small pieces. This brings a sweet, savory flavor that complements the richness of the beef and potatoes. For the cheesy goodness, grab 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, which will melt beautifully on top of the dish at the end, adding a creamy, gooey finish. You’ll also need ½ cup beef broth to keep the dish moist and flavorful, along with ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, which adds depth and a bit of tang to the overall taste.

For the Seasoning:

For seasoning, you’ll need salt and pepper to taste, which will bring out all the flavors. Add garlic powder for an extra kick of flavor and paprika for a subtle smokiness that rounds out the dish perfectly. These seasonings can be adjusted depending on your taste preferences, and you can always add a little extra of any one to suit your flavor profile!

Instructions

1️⃣ Layer the Ingredients:

Start by placing your cubed sirloin steak, diced potatoes, and chopped onion into the bottom of your crockpot. These are the main components of the dish, so spread them out evenly for an even cook. Then, season everything generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure everything is well-coated with the spices to maximize flavor in every bite.

2️⃣ Add the Liquids:

Next, in a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. The broth will provide the necessary moisture for cooking, while the Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy kick. Pour this mixture evenly over the steak, potatoes, and onions, making sure the ingredients are nicely covered. The liquid will help infuse the flavors and ensure the dish remains tender and juicy as it slow-cooks.

3️⃣ Cook the Dish:

Cover your crockpot with its lid and set it to cook. For the best results, cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. The goal is for the steak to be tender and the potatoes to become soft and fully cooked through. The slow-cooking process will allow the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and savory base.

4️⃣ Add the Cheese:

In the final 10-15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the dish. It will melt into the mix, creating a gooey, creamy layer that binds everything together and makes it even more indulgent. Make sure to cover the crockpot again to let the cheese melt fully into the hot ingredients.

5️⃣ Serve:

Once the cheese is melted and everything is cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve! Spoon the mixture into bowls and enjoy while it’s still hot. For an added touch, garnish with some freshly chopped parsley or green onions. This dish is hearty on its own, but it can also be served with a side of crispy bread or a salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

If you love crispy cheese, you can place the crockpot dish under the broiler for a few minutes once it’s done cooking. This will give the cheese a nice golden, crispy texture on top. For extra flavor, you can top the dish with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
