Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat (Cut into bite-sized pieces.)
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes (Halved for even cooking.) Optional: Parboil for a few minutes.
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Melted for the garlic butter sauce.)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced for flavor.) Toast for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder (Adds depth to the flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (For a smoky flavor.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (Enhances the aroma.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary (Adds a fragrant touch.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste.)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  • Optional: Parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly.

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the garlic butter sauce.
  • In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop to serve again.
