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
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
0.25 cup Beef broth
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
Optional: Parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
Combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create the garlic butter sauce.
In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce and add beef broth. Stir gently to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Add more butter and broth for extra sauce. Substitute with a vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
