Ingredients
  

Steak and potatoes
  • 2 lb chuck steak or sirloin
  • 1.5 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 4 garlic
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker

Method
 

Layer and season
  1. Add the halved baby Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced onion to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Season the steak pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, then place them on top of the potatoes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and dried rosemary into the slow cooker.
  4. Lay the butter slices on top of the steak for richer pan juices.
Slow cook and finish
  1. Cook on low for 6–7 hours (or high for 3–4 hours) until the steak is tender and the potatoes are fork-soft.
  2. Stir gently to coat everything in the pan juices, keeping the potatoes intact.
  3. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (visual cue: bright green flecks over the golden potatoes).

Notes

For best texture, avoid over-stirring after the potatoes become fork-soft; just fold gently to keep them from breaking. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days. Freeze yes, up to 2 months—thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on low until hot. For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium beef broth and low-sodium Worcestershire/soy sauce while keeping the seasonings otherwise the same.
