Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat Cut into bite-sized pieces for tenderness.
  • 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 Adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika For a smoky flavor.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme Enhances the aroma.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary Adds a fragrant touch.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Or to taste.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper For seasoning.
  • 0.25 cup Beef broth To keep the dish moist.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For searing the beef.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients, cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. Optional: Parboil the potatoes for a few minutes for extra tenderness.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to form the garlic butter sauce.
  3. In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef, then pour the garlic butter sauce and add beef broth.
  4. Cover 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

You can prep ingredients ahead of time. Store cut beef and potatoes in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for later use.
