Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients (15 minutes): Cube the steak into 1-inch pieces, peel and dice the russet potatoes into roughly ½-inch chunks, finely chop the onion, and mince garlic cloves. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then crumble and set aside.
  2. Sear the Steak (Optional but recommended, 10 minutes): Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in batches, searing for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through.
  3. Add Ingredients to Crockpot (5 minutes): Into the slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, seared steak cubes, beef broth, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cook on Low for 6 Hours: Cover and set the crockpot to low heat. Let the soup cook until the potatoes are tender and steak is fully cooked.
  5. Finish the Soup (10 minutes): About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Add the crumbled bacon and half the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes on low to melt the cheese and blend flavors.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and chopped green onions if using. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Searing the steak before slow cooking enhances flavor but can be skipped for convenience. Cut potatoes into ½-inch chunks to avoid disintegration. Stir cream and sour cream in gently to prevent curdling. Cook bacon separately for best texture and flavor. Avoid lifting the crockpot lid during cooking to maintain temperature.
