Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1.5 lbs Sirloin or ribeye steak Provides rich flavor; substitute with flank steak for a leaner option.
  • 4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes Adds heartiness; sweet potatoes can offer a sweeter profile.
  • 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Offers creamy, melty goodness; consider Gruyère for a gourmet twist.
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Creates a luscious sauce; evaporated milk is a lighter alternative.
  • 1 cup Beef broth, low-sodium Adds depth of flavor; vegetable broth works for a lighter option.
  • 1 Medium onion, finely diced Provides sweetness; yellow or sweet onions can be used.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Enhances flavor; garlic powder can substitute if fresh isn’t on hand.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Essential for searing the steak; substitute with olive oil for a lighter approach.
  • 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika Adds smokiness; sweet paprika can be used for no heat.
  • Salt & pepper to taste Essential for bringing flavors together.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear 1½ lbs of steak for about 2–3 minutes on each side.
  2. Slice 4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes thinly to about 1/8-inch thickness. Dice 1 medium onion finely.
  3. In the slow cooker, layer half of the potatoes, half of the onions, half of the seared steak, and 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  4. Continue layering with the remaining potatoes, onions, and steak, finishing with the remaining cheese.
  5. Whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of beef broth with 2 minced garlic cloves. Pour evenly over the layers.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheddar cheese.
