  • 1 pound russet potatoes, cut in half
  • 1/3 cup beef broth for slow cooker, 1 cup for Instant Pot
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Prepare The Steaks

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, rosemary or thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Season each steak evenly on each side with the seasoning mixture. Press the seasonings into the steak with your hand.

Slow Cooker

  1. Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the prepared steaks. Add the potatoes on top of the meat. Pour the broth on top of all the food in the slow cooker.

Instant Pot

  1. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté. Once hot, add the oil and the prepared steaks. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until the steaks are browned. You may need to cook your steaks one at a time, depending on the size of your Instant Pot. Remove the steaks and set aside. Drain excess grease from the pot if needed. Turn the Instant Pot off.
  2. Pour in 1 cup broth and deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by scraping all the bits off with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add the potatoes to the pot. Add the trivet on top of the potatoes. Place the steaks on the trivet.
  4. Close and seal vent. Select high pressure and set time for 5 minutes. When cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure.
