Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 pound Baby potatoes (Halved for even cooking)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Melted for the garlic butter sauce)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Minced for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary (crushed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for searing the beef)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients, cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, and halve the baby potatoes. Prepare your slow cooker.
- Optionally parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly.
- 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 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Searing the beef is essential for depth of flavor. Make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
