Ingredients

Scale

    Beef:

  • 1.5 lbs beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Potatoes:

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
  • Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Others:

  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef (Optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Layer the Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle with half of the garlic butter sauce. Add the seared beef bites on top of the potatoes and drizzle with the remaining garlic butter sauce. Pour the beef broth over everything.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Stir gently to coat the potatoes and beef in the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can sear the beef before adding it to the slow cooker for extra flavor, but it’s optional.
  • Feel free to customize the herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
  • Make sure to adjust cooking times based on your slow cooker’s settings and the size of your meat and potatoes.
