Description
A comforting one-pot dish featuring tender beef bites and baby potatoes in a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 (or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for searing the beef)
Instructions
- Cut the beef stew meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Halve the baby potatoes to promote even cooking. Optionally, parboil them for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create your garlic butter sauce.
- In the slow cooker, layer the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over everything and add the 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.
- Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving to meld the flavors together.
Notes
Searing the beef beforehand adds depth to the flavor. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
