Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
- (Optional) For even softer potatoes, parboil them for a few minutes until slightly tender.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a delectable garlic butter sauce.
- In your slow cooker, layer the halved baby potatoes followed by the seared beef.
- Pour the garlic butter sauce over the mixture and add the beef broth.
- Cover and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors deepen after a day or two, best consumed within 3-4 days. Reheat on low heat to ensure even heating.
