Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Potatoes
  • 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes (Halved for even cooking)
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Melted) For the garlic butter sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced) Adds 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, 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 the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to form 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 the 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.

Serve these garlic butter beef bites warm, and consider garnishing with fresh herbs. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
