  • Total Time: 6 hours 20 minutes to 8 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)

Potatoes

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Garnish (optional)

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Pat beef bites dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to ensure the flavors penetrate the meat.
  2. Sear the beef (optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds an extra depth of flavor but can be skipped to save time.
  3. Toss the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly for even cooking and seasoning.
  4. Make the garlic butter sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. This aromatic sauce will infuse the beef and potatoes with rich flavor during cooking.
  5. Layer the slow cooker: Place the seasoned potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the seared (or raw) beef bites on top of the potatoes.
  6. Add the sauce: Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the layers in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated for maximum flavor.
  7. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish if desired. Serve warm alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • No slow cooker? Use an Instant Pot’s slow cooker function for similar results.
  • Add vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or green beans during the last 1-2 hours of cooking for added nutrition and flavor.
  • For crispy potatoes, broil the slow cooked dish for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months to enjoy later.
