Ingredients
- 1 1/2 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
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Sear the Beef: 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 the beef to the slow cooker.
- Add Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the slow cooker.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and potatoes.
- Add Beef Broth: Add beef broth to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Slow 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.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a change in protein, try using chicken thighs instead of beef.
- Add carrots, green beans, or mushrooms to the slow cooker for more variety and nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
