Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef and Potatoes

Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes. Leave the skin on the potatoes for extra flavor and texture.

Step 2: Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. This flavorful garlic butter sauce will infuse the beef and potatoes as they cook.

Step 3: Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker

Place the beef and potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter sauce over everything, ensuring it’s well-coated. Add the beef broth to help keep everything moist while cooking.

Step 4: Slow Cook the Dish

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, stir gently and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with your favorite vegetables or enjoy as a hearty, stand-alone meal.

Notes

  • Searing the beef first: For deeper flavor, sear the beef bites in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Customize the herbs: Feel free to use fresh rosemary or thyme, or experiment with other herbs like oregano or basil for variation.
  • Potato options: If you don’t have baby potatoes, use regular potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces.
