Ingredients
  

Main 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 (Adds depth to the flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (For a smoky flavor.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (Enhances the aroma.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary (Adds a fragrant touch.)
  • 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.)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. (Optional): Parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
  2. 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.
  3. In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
  4. 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.
  5. Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef in the garlic butter sauce for a few hours before cooking. You can switch up the herbs according to your preferences, using fresh herbs if available. If you prefer a thicker sauce, consider adding a cornstarch slurry towards the end of the cooking process. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the dish.
