Here’s a reliable, hearty Crock-Pot Steak and Potatoes recipe — perfect for a hands-off, comforting meal.
🥩 Crock-Pot Steak and Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1½–2 lbs beef steak (sirloin, chuck, or rump), cut into 2-inch cubes or strips
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp oil (optional, for browning)
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Optional: Brown the steak
- Heat oil in a skillet and sear steak cubes 2–3 minutes per side for deeper flavor.
2️⃣ Layer ingredients in the Crock-Pot
- Place potatoes and onions at the bottom.
- Add steak on top.
- Sprinkle garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
3️⃣ Cook
- LOW: 6–8 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
- Steak should be tender, and potatoes cooked through but not mushy.
4️⃣ Optional finishing touches
- Add frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, or green beans) during the last 30 minutes.
- To make gravy, remove ½ cup cooking liquid, mix with 1 tbsp cornstarch, and stir back into the Crock-Pot.
🌿 Tips
- Yukon Gold potatoes stay creamy; red potatoes hold their shape better.
- For extra flavor, add 1 tsp smoked paprika, a splash of soy sauce, or fresh herbs before serving.
- You can layer thin slices of potatoes on top to create a rustic look and help absorb juices.
