Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ 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

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup beef broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Sear the Beef:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef bites and sear on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side). Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

Add the halved baby potatoes to the slow cooker with the beef.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then pour the sauce over the beef and potatoes.

4. Add Broth:

Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker.

5. Cook:

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.

6. Serve:

Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For added richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or carrots to achieve a sweeter flavor profile.
  • Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker enhances the flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
