💭Cooking Tips
- Cut the sirloin steak into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly and are easy to eat.
- If you have time, sauté the garlic and onion before adding them to the slow cooker to bring out their flavors and add a caramelized note to the dish.
- Wash the petite red potatoes thoroughly and leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
- Mix the marinade in a separate bowl before adding them to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
- Check the steak's doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165F.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving, allowing the steak to retain its juices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
📖Variations
- Swap sirloin for chuck roast or beef stew meat for a more budget-friendly option that becomes equally tender in the slow cooker.
- Replace the petite red potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter, nutrient-rich twist.
- Add sliced carrots or green beans for extra veggies and a pop of color.
- Use fresh corn on the cob, cut into chunks, instead of frozen for a summer-fresh flavor.
- Add a splash of red wine or beef broth for a more decadent, complex sauce.
- Try smoked paprika instead of regular paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
- Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for a tangy, umami kick.
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños.
- Sprinkle in some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese in the last 30 minutes of cooking for a cheesy twist.
- Top with sour cream and chopped green onions when serving for a creamy, sharp garnish.
🌡️Storing & Freezing
Storing: To store leftovers, let the dish cool to room temperature and then transfer it into an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, add a little water or broth if it seems dry, and warm it thoroughly in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Freezing: Cool the dish entirely and place it in freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Recipe FAQs
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can use an oven-safe pot with a lid, like a Dutch oven. Cook the dish in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked.
Yes, you can put raw steak directly in a slow cooker. The slow, low-temperature cooking process will safely cook the steak through, making it tender and flavorful over several hours.
To prevent potatoes from overcooking in a slow cooker, cut them into larger pieces, which will cook more slowly than smaller ones. If you like potatoes that are a bit more firm, place them in the slow cooker during the last 90 minutes of cooking.
