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. Halve the baby potatoes for even cooking.
  2. (Optional) Parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly before cooking in the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 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. Mix well to create the garlic butter sauce.
  3. In the slow cooker, place 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 for enhanced flavor.
