Instructions

Brown the Steak (Optional): Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces for 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned steak to the slow cooker.
Prepare the Other Ingredients: Dice the potatoes and chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the slow cooker with the steak.
Add Soup and Milk: Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, stirring halfway through if possible.
Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and cook for another 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Garnish and Serve: Stir the cheese in or leave it on top, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Flavor Boost: Add Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the cream soup for extra depth of flavor.
