How to Make Steak and Potatoes in the Crockpot
Step 1 – Season the steak cubes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2 – Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the browned steak to the crockpot.
Step 3 – In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant. Transfer the onion and garlic to the crockpot.
Step 4 – Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the crockpot. Add the dried thyme and stir to combine. Arrange the halved baby potatoes around the steak in the crockpot.
- Step 5 – Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the steak is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Step 6 – Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Expert Tips
- Gravy Consistency – If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can remove the steak and potatoes from the crockpot once they’re done cooking, and then whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this mixture into the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
- Cooking Time – If you prefer, you can cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, but the meat won’t be as tender. Cooking time will vary but we like to cook on low for the best tender steak.
Serving Suggestions
Slow Cooker Steak and Potatoes make mealtime a breeze. You can easily serve as it but we like to add these side dishes for a complete meal idea.

Yes, sweet potatoes should work great in this recipe. I recommend peeling them and dicing them in large pieces.
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of the baby potatoes
I don’t have any recipes designed specifically for a 2 crock pot except for some of our crock pot appetizer recipes but most of these I would recommend being made in a 4 quart crock pot. This recipe can be made in a smaller crock pot and just use half of the ingredients.
