Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

Start by gathering all ingredients and preparing them. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes. If desired, parboil the baby potatoes for a few minutes to soften them slightly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides, locking in their juices and flavor.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
Cover the slow cooker and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high until the beef is fork-tender.
Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, don’t rush the searing process; it enhances the flavor. Adjust seasonings to taste and feel free to add vegetables like carrots or peas.
