Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites and Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoning Blend

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano, basil, or thyme)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the steak into evenly sized bite pieces and wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Slice the onion and mince the garlic to release their natural oils and flavors.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites (Optional but Recommended): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and quickly sear the steak bites just until browned on all sides to lock in juices and add a delicious crust. This step can be skipped if short on time.
  3. Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, followed by the sliced onions and minced garlic. Add the seared steak bites on top, then evenly season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried herbs.
  4. Add Liquids and Cook: Pour beef broth over all the ingredients. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This slow cooking process tenderizes the steak and softens the potatoes while blending the flavors.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Once cooking is complete, gently stir to combine the flavors. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for brightness and color before serving.

Notes

  • Use well-marbled steak cuts for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the crockpot to allow proper heat circulation.
  • Searing the steak is optional but adds superior flavor.
  • Test potatoes during the last hour of cooking to ensure they are fork-tender and not overcooked.
  • Add fresh parsley or herbs only at the end to keep them vibrant.
