FAQs & Tips

What type of beef should you use?

To make this easy crockpot steak and potato soup recipe, I use beef stew meat. Of course, you can always buy a piece of meat and cut it up. If you go this route, suggestions for cuts of meat include beef sirloin or a roast like chuck roast, rump roast, or even brisket.

What type of potatoes should you use?

While the recipe is written to use russet potatoes, I always encourage you to use the ingredients you have & like. Use your preferred type potato whether it be russet, or a a waxy potato like red potatoes. Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. This helps prevent some pieces from becoming too mushy while others remain undercooked.

Is this enough seasoning?

I think so! Be mindful of adding too much salt. Start with a little and adjust as needed near the end of cooking. Remember that the beef broth will concentrate as it reduces, so it’s easy to over-salt if you add too much initially.

How do you make this healthier?

To make this paleo & Whole30 compatible, substitute coconut aminos for the Worcestershire sauce. To make this low-carb & keto friendly, omit the potatoes. 

How do you make this a creamier soup?

Add heavy cream or half-and-half the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftover slow cooker steak and potato soup in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

Can you freeze this soup?

To freeze steak and potato soup, let the soup cool completely. Once cooled, add the soup to an air tight container, freezer-friendly plastic bag, or souper cubes. Store the soup in your freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat frozen steak and potato soup you have two options. You can either thaw the soup overnight  in the refrigerator OR add the soup directly to the slow cooker or Instant Pot & thaw on the warm setting.

What size slow cooker did you use?

I use a  6-quart slow cooker or Instant Pot for this recipe.
