Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs sirloin, ribeye, or chuck steak, cut into large chunks
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved if large (Yukon gold or red preferred)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh or dried parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika preferred)
  • 1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional, add last hour)
  • 1 small red onion, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut steak into large, even 2-inch chunks and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss steak pieces in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using) until evenly coated.
  3. Halve baby potatoes (quarter if very large). If using, chop carrots and onions into 1-inch pieces.
  4. Layer potatoes (and carrots/onions, if using) on the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with seasoned steak pieces. Pour beef broth over everything.
  5. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, and paprika. Drizzle evenly over steak and potatoes.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until steak is fork-tender and potatoes are soft but not falling apart. If adding mushrooms, stir them in during the last hour.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Taste and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
  8. Serve hot, spooning steak, potatoes, and buttery sauce onto plates. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use well-marbled steak like chuck or ribeye. Layer potatoes on the bottom for even cooking. Add mushrooms in the last hour to avoid mushiness. For a thicker sauce, crack the lid open for the last 30 minutes or whisk in a cornstarch slurry. Prep ingredients the night before for a quick morning assembly. Double-check broth and seasonings for gluten-free needs. For dairy-free, use vegan butter.
