Equipment

  • Slow cooker or crockpot (6-quart recommended)
  • Sharp chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds beef stew meat cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1½ pounds baby potatoes halved
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

  • Start by cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces if it isn’t already prepared. Pat the beef dry with paper towels. This small step helps the seasoning stick better.
  • Place the beef in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Season the Meat

  • Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, and parsley to the beef. Toss everything together until the meat is evenly coated with seasoning.
  • The spices add depth and give the beef a beautiful savory flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Stir everything together until fully combined.
  • This mixture becomes the flavorful sauce that makes the dish so irresistible.

Step 4: Add Ingredients to the Crockpot

  • Place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Spread them evenly so they cook properly.
  • Next, add the seasoned beef bites on top of the potatoes.
  • Pour the garlic butter mixture over everything.

Step 5: Slow Cook

  • Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
  • During this time, the beef slowly becomes tender while the potatoes absorb all the delicious juices.

Step 6: Stir and Finish

  • About 30 minutes before serving, gently stir the mixture so the sauce coats everything evenly.
  • When finished cooking, the beef should be fork-tender and the potatoes soft.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
  • Serve warm and enjoy every buttery, garlicky bite.
