1. Prep the Ingredients

• Slice the steak and potatoes as evenly as possible for uniform cooking.
• Grate the cheddar cheese for better melting.
• In a small bowl, mix the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper).

2. Layer the Ingredients in the Slow Cooker

• Start with a layer of potatoes, overlapping slightly.
• Sprinkle a little seasoning over the potatoes.
• Add a layer of steak slices evenly across the potatoes.
• Sprinkle shredded cheese over the steak.
• Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese topping.

3. Add the Liquid Ingredients

• Drizzle melted butter and heavy cream over the layers.
• If using sour cream or Dijon mustard, whisk them into the heavy cream before pouring.

4. Slow Cook to Perfection

• Set to LOW and cook for 6-8 hours.
• If in a hurry, cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, but the potatoes may be firmer.

5. Add the Final Cheese Topping

• In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top and cover until melted.

6. Check for Doneness

• Test the potatoes with a fork – they should be soft but not falling apart.
• The steak should be tender and easy to cut with a fork.

7. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
• Serve warm and enjoy with a side of crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
