Tips & Notes:
- Using Regular Potatoes:
- If you’re using regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes, you’ll want to cut them into smaller pieces (such as quarters) to ensure they cook evenly in the slow cooker. Regular potatoes take a bit longer to cook, so cutting them into smaller pieces helps them cook at the same rate as the steak.
- Browning the Steak (Optional):
- While not necessary, browning the steak in a pan with a little oil or butter before adding it to the slow cooker will enhance the flavor and texture. It adds a nice caramelization, which can give the dish more depth of flavor.
- Adjusting Seasonings:
- If you like more garlic or a stronger Parmesan flavor, feel free to add more garlic Parmesan wing seasoning or garlic powder. You can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top just before serving for an extra cheesy kick.
- Adding Veggies:
- If you want to add more vegetables, carrots, onions, or bell peppers would pair well. Just chop them into chunks and add them to the slow cooker along with the potatoes.
- Check for Doneness:
- Every slow cooker cooks a bit differently, so check the doneness of the potatoes after 4-5 hours on low. The potatoes should be fork-tender, and the steak should be cooked through and tender. If you’re using larger chunks of potatoes, they might take closer to 6 hours.
- Serving Suggestions:
- This dish is hearty on its own, but it pairs well with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or some crusty bread to soak up any remaining juices. For a richer meal, serve with a side of garlic bread.
