- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional:
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat steak pieces dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat.

- Sprinkle diced onion and minced garlic over the potatoes.
- Layer the browned steak pieces on top.
- Season with thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and additional pepper.
- Mix beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and pour gently over the ingredients.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours until steak is tender and potatoes are fork-soft.
- If using cheese, sprinkle on top during the last 20 minutes of cooking and allow to melt.
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra richness, stir in 1/4 cup sour cream before serving.
- For thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir in during last 30 minutes.
- Red potatoes may be used for firmer texture.
- Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 3 days and reheat gently.
- Pairs well with green salad or steamed vegetables.
