Updated 2019 with Instant Pot instructions

I have lived in California for over 20 years now, but I still consider myself an East Coaster since that’s where I was raised until I left for college. Having spent 12 years between Cleveland & Chicago, I am a Midwesterner, steak & potatoes girl at heart. And even though it’s 80 degrees out, I’m eating steak and potatoes. It’s too hot to be outside standing over a grill so of course using my slow cooker.

What Type Of Steak To Use?

What type of steak do you prefer? I used rib-eye steaks because they’re my favorite cut. Sirloin, strip steak, even short ribs – they all work well with this recipe. I suggest you stay away from tender cuts like filet mignon. Filet actually doesn’t cook well in slow cookers; it’s too tender and will cook too fast.

What Type Of Potatoes To Use

For my potatoes, I went with yellow potatoes because waxy potatoes hold their shape better with slow cooking. You can substitute another type of potato like sweet potatoes or even butternut squash. If you do, I suggest you cut them in larger chunks than usual. This will help them not turn to mush during the long cook time.

The great thing about this recipe is that even though it’s hearty, I tried to make it as healthy as possible by using low-sodium beef broth and a homemade steak seasoning. I added mushrooms because I love mushrooms on my steak but it’s an optional ingredient. Sliced bell peppers are a great addition as well.

I used a  6-quart slow cooker or Instant Pot for this recipe. The end result of the steak is that of a slow cooker roast – falling off the bones (if  there are bones in your steak) tender.

Steak & potatoes are the ultimate comfort food. But they can be healthy too! This slow cooker version produces tender meat that's both whole30 and paleo.

Side dish suggestions are your favorite green vegetables or a simple salad.

    Hi! I’m following your directions – potatoes and onions on bottom and steak and mushrooms on top – but after about an hour, there doesn’t seem to be enough liquid in here…

      Hello! Don’t worry, it will be fine. More liquid will release as it cooks. It’s okay its the food isn’t 100% covered, mine wasn’t. Enjoy!
