Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season beef cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then sear until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Optional: In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Grease the slow cooker. Create layers using: ⅓ of the sliced potatoes, portion of browned steak, sauce mixture, and shredded cheddar. Repeat layers twice more, ending with cheese.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and beef is very soft.
- Before serving, gently stir to distribute sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For best results, use sharp cheddar cheese as mild varieties can get lost in the flavors. Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors continue to develop. The casserole can be made with chuck roast instead of sirloin for a more budget-friendly option. Add red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired. Make sure to slice potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
