Description
A comforting slow cooker casserole layering thin beef, diced potatoes, peppers, onions and melted provolone for an easy, hearty dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled & diced
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat; sear beef slices 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
- Layer diced potatoes in bottom of crockpot and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder & smoked paprika.
- Add sliced onion and chopped bell pepper evenly over potatoes.
- Place seared beef slices on top of vegetables.
- Pour beef broth gently over all layers so moisture distributes.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone on top; re-cover and let melt 10–15 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, let rest 5–10 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded provolone for best melt and texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing — do in batches to get good browning.
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook uniformly.
- If potatoes are still firm near the end, switch to HIGH or extend cooking.
- For a crispier top, remove lid near the end or broil if using an oven-safe dish.
- Drain excess fat from beef if mixture is greasy before layering.
- Let casserole rest 5–10 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.
