A hearty and flavorful slow-cooked steak recipe with tender potatoes and a rich sauce.
Cut the steak into serving-sized pieces.
Cutting the steak into smaller pieces ensures even cooking and easier serving.
Coat the steak pieces in flour, salt, and pepper.
Lightly pressing the flour mixture onto the steak helps it adhere better.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the steak pieces on both sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the steak.
Place the seared steak in the slow cooker.
Arrange the steak pieces in a single layer for even cooking.
Add the onion, garlic, potatoes, and bay leaf to the slow cooker.
Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
In the skillet, combine Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, brown sugar, and paprika. Heat until simmering.
Stirring constantly prevents the sauce from burning.
Pour the sauce over the steak and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Ensure the sauce covers the ingredients evenly for maximum flavor.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the steak and potatoes are tender.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Serve the steak and potatoes with the sauce spooned over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
