Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat (Cut into bite-sized pieces.)
  • 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
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme

  • 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.)

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 them slightly.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
  • 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.
  • In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
  • 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.
