Description
A hearty slow-cooker steak dish with tender meat and perfectly cooked potatoes in a rich sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs steak pieces
- 4–5 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- Dairy components (cheese and sour cream)
- Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If using frozen steak, thaw completely before cooking.
- Cut potatoes into even-sized pieces.
- Place ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours (preferred) or on high for 3-4 hours.
- If sauce needs thickening, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and add during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Notes
- Fresh steak is preferred over frozen for best results.
- For dairy-free version, substitute with coconut cream, dairy-free cheese, and plant-based sour cream.
- Cooking on low temperature yields more tender meat and better flavor development.
- Avoid overcooking to prevent mushy potatoes and overly broken-down meat.
- Russet potatoes are ideal as they hold up well during long cooking periods.
