Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs steak sirloin, chuck, or round steak
1 lb baby potatoes or large potatoes cut into chunks
2 cups carrots peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium onion sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Sear the Steak (Optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on both sides for 2-3 minutes until browned. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you're short on time.
Prepare the Crockpot: Place the baby potatoes, carrots, and onion slices at the bottom of the crockpot.
Layer the Steak: Lay the steak on top of the vegetables.
Add Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the steak and vegetables.
Cook: Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Optional Gravy: If you’d like a thicker sauce, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and mix with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir the mixture back into the crockpot and cook on high for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
Serve: Plate the steak with potatoes and carrots. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
