Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1.5 lbs. steak, cubed (sirloin recommended)
Vegetables
- 1 lbs. gold or baby potatoes, whole or halved
- 3 corn on the cob, halved or cut into thirds
Seasonings and Butter
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 tsp. rosemary
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Cube the sirloin steak, wash and halve the potatoes if needed, and cut the corn cobs into halves or thirds. Roughly chop the garlic cloves to release more flavor during cooking.
- Combine the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and onion powder. This spice blend will infuse the dish with a robust, savory flavor.
- Layer the slow cooker: Place the potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the cubed steak on top, then arrange the corn pieces over the meat and potatoes. This layering helps cook the ingredients evenly.
- Add butter and garlic: Distribute the salted butter pieces and chopped garlic cloves evenly over the steak, potatoes, and corn. The butter will melt slowly, coating everything in rich flavor.
- Sprinkle with seasoning: Evenly sprinkle the prepared spice blend over all ingredients in the slow cooker to ensure full coverage and flavor penetration.
- Cook slowly: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the steak is tender and the potatoes and corn are cooked through. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
- Serve and enjoy: Once done, gently stir to combine flavors, then serve warm. This hearty meal pairs well with a fresh green salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- For quicker cooking, you may cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, but low and slow is best for tenderness.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme with dried versions if fresh is unavailable.
- If you want extra richness, you can add a splash of beef broth before cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
