1 cup heavy cream
1 cup beef broth

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the potatoes into thin rounds and chop the onion.
Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2: Brown the Steak

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux.
Slowly add beef broth and heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and garlic, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Lightly grease the slow cooker.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom.
Add half of the chopped onions and half of the seared steak.
Pour half of the sauce over the layers and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, steak, sauce, and cheese.

Step 5: Slow Cook

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, cheesy dish!
