Ingredients
For the Dish:
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into cubes
- 4 large potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
For the Seasoning:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
Instructions
- Layer the Ingredients: Place the cubed sirloin steak, diced potatoes, and chopped onion evenly at the bottom of the crockpot. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring all ingredients are well coated to develop rich flavors.
- Add the Liquids: In a bowl, combine beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients to ensure moisture and flavor infusion during cooking.
- Cook the Dish: Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the steak is tender and potatoes are soft, allowing flavors to meld.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the dish in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. Replace the lid to let the cheese fully melt into a creamy, gooey layer.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted and the dish is fully cooked, spoon into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and accompany with crispy bread or a fresh salad.
Notes
- For crispy cheese topping, briefly place the crockpot dish under a broiler after cooking to achieve a golden crust.
- Enhance flavor by adding a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of ranch dressing before serving.
- Adjust seasonings according to personal preference to customize flavor intensity.
