Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 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
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.25 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. Optional: Parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
  2. 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.
  3. In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
  4. 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.
  5. Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try marinating the beef in garlic and spices for a few hours before cooking. You can swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a twist on sweetness. Using a meat thermometer will ensure your beef bites are cooked to perfection—nobody likes overcooked meat! Serve with a side salad or crusty bread.
