# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cubed
02 - 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
03 - 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
04 - 1 cup heavy cream
05 - 1 cup beef broth
06 - 1 medium onion, diced
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 2 tbsp butter

→ Seasonings and Garnishes

09 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
10 - 0.5 tsp black pepper
11 - 1 tsp salt, adjust to taste
12 - Fresh parsley or green onions, optional, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes. Cube the steak into bite-sized pieces and season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
02 - Heat butter in a skillet and sear the steak pieces on all sides until browned.
03 - Place a layer of potatoes in the slow cooker, followed by a layer of cheese, seasoned steak, diced onion, and minced garlic. Repeat the layering if needed.
04 - In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and beef broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
05 - Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
06 - During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
07 - Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Searing the steak before slow cooking adds a deeper flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
