Let’s bring this comforting dish to life with these easy steps:

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and sear until browned on all sides. This step locks in the juices, ensuring a tender bite.
2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, adding a depth of flavor reminiscent of my grandmother’s cooking.
3. Transfer the steak, onion, and garlic mixture to your slow cooker. Add the sliced potatoes, ensuring an even layer.
4. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the steak and potatoes in the slow cooker.
5. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the steak is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Allow it to melt into a golden, bubbly topping.

As you prepare this dish, remember that cooking is an act of love and creativity, much like the meals I enjoyed with my family. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to fit your taste.
