Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes peeled and diced uniformly
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter for searing
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream 240ml
  • 0.5 cup beef broth 120ml
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch 15g
  • 2 cups sharp orange cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 0.25 cup fresh chives finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Slow Cooker Black ceramic insert preferred for even heating.
  • 1 Large Cast-Iron Skillet Crucial for searing the steak bites to a deep brown.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat the steak bites dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
  2. Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Add the diced russet potatoes to the bottom, then place the seared steak bites on top.
  3. Whisk together beef broth and cornstarch to create a slurry. Whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour evenly over the steak and potatoes.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  5. In the last 20 minutes of cooking, uncover and sprinkle the freshly grated orange cheddar cheese in a thick layer over the top. Cover and let melt until bubbling.
  6. Once the cheese is melted, turn off the heat. Scatter the crispy crumbled bacon bits and finely chopped fresh chives over the top before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Always sear your steak bites to lock in flavor and achieve that deeply browned color before slow cooking.
Tip 2: Grate your cheddar cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheese will not melt into the required thick, gooey layer.
