Description

This Crockpot Loaded Steak and Potato Bake is a hearty, comforting dish perfect for an easy meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sirloin steak, cubed
  • 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cube the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, peel and dice the russet potatoes, and chop the onion to ready them for slow cooking.
  2. Add to Crockpot: Place the cubed steak, diced potatoes, and chopped onions into the Crockpot evenly.
  3. Season and Add Liquids: Pour the beef broth over the ingredients in the Crockpot, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper on top. Stir lightly to combine.
  4. Cook on Low: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the steak to become tender and the potatoes to soften completely.
  5. Mix in Sour Cream and Add Cheese: Once the steak and potatoes are cooked, stir in the sour cream for creaminess, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Final Cooking Stage: Cover the Crockpot again and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the finished dish for fresh flavor and serve hot.

Notes

  • Be sure to cook on low heat for the best tender results to avoid tough steak.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Ranch seasoning mix can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
  • Adding extra beef broth or water can be useful if the mixture looks dry before cooking.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for stronger flavor or mild cheddar for a creamier taste.
