A quick, cozy slow-cooker dinner featuring tender garlic-butter beef bites nestled with soft baby potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
  2. Season beef pieces with salt and pepper. Sear in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side until a crust forms. Total sear time is about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Transfer seared beef to the slow cooker.
  4. While searing, halve baby potatoes and place them in the slow cooker around the beef.
  5. Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Pour the garlic-butter mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes. Add beef broth and gently stir to combine.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until beef is fork-tender and potatoes are soft.
  8. Let the dish rest uncovered for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For maximum tenderness, use the low setting. Browning the beef is optional but recommended.
