Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (ribeye or New York strip also work)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for potatoes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper (for potatoes)
  • Chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional, for serving)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
  3. In a large bowl, toss halved potatoes with grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until well coated.
  4. Arrange the Parmesan potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Spoon about 1/3 of the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes.
  5. Place the steak bites on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter mixture over the steak.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-2.5 hours, until steak is tender and potatoes are fork-tender with crispy edges.
  7. For extra crispy potatoes (optional), remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and spread on a baking sheet. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  8. Serve steak bites and potatoes with extra parsley, Parmesan, chives, or lemon wedges as desired.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning to ensure browning. Layer potatoes on the bottom for crispiness and steak on top for juiciness. Broil potatoes after slow cooking for extra crunch. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Taste before adding extra salt, as Parmesan is salty. Prep ingredients the night before for a quick start in the morning. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. Naturally gluten-free—just check your cheese labels.
