Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes

Print Recipe

A comforting slow-cooker dish featuring tender beef bites and baby potatoes infused with a garlicky butter sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved
  • 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
  • 0.25 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. Optional: Parboil the baby potatoes for 3–5 minutes to soften them slightly; drain well.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides. Work in batches so the meat doesn’t steam.
  4. 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. Stir until well combined.
  5. In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
  6. 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.
  7. Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

If you don’t have baby potatoes, quarter small Yukon Golds. For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium beef broth and reduce added salt.
