Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor—it’s a one-pot meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs beef chuck steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (sirloin optional)
2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced into bite-sized chunks
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp preferred)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
Optional Add-Ons:
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
Instructions
1. Cut beef steak into 1-inch cubes and dice potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Optionally soak potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain.
2. Layer the steak cubes on the bottom of the crockpot. Add the diced potatoes on top.
3. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the top. Add optional smoked paprika or herbs if using. Stir gently to combine.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until steak is tender and potatoes are cooked through.
5. Once fully cooked, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. If using, add cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
6. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for garnish. Serve hot straight from the crockpot with bread or a side salad.
Notes
For best texture, soak diced potatoes in cold water before cooking to reduce starch.
Chuck steak is ideal for tenderness, but sirloin can be used for a leaner option.
Add a splash of red wine in place of some broth for richer flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—flavor improves overnight.
Great served with crusty bread, steamed veggies, or a crisp green salad.
