Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Other

  • 0.25 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces. Halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Optional Parboil Potatoes: To soften the potatoes slightly and reduce cooking time, parboil the halved baby potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain.
  3. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef bites and sear until browned on all sides to lock in flavor and juices.
  4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the aromatic garlic butter sauce.
  5. Assemble in Slow Cooker: Place halved baby potatoes and seared beef bites in the slow cooker. Pour garlic butter sauce evenly over the top, then add beef broth to keep the dish moist during cooking.
  6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  7. Rest and Serve: Once cooking is complete, let the dish rest in the slow cooker for about 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter beef bites with potatoes.

Notes

  • Parboiling potatoes is optional but helps them cook faster and become tender inside.
  • You can adjust the salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
  • Using beef broth instead of water adds richer flavor to the dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
