Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs about 700 g beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb about 450–500 g baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing

Method
 

  1. Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes and halve the baby potatoes so they cook evenly.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides — this locks in flavor and juices.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a garlic-butter sauce.
  4. Place the halved potatoes in the base of your slow cooker. Add the seared beef on top.
  5. Pour the garlic-butter sauce over the beef and potatoes, then pour in the beef broth to keep everything moist.
  6. Cover and cook: either on low heat for about 6–8 hours, or on high heat for 3–4 hours — until the beef is tender and the potatoes are soft.
  7. Once done, let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
