Ingredients List

For the Beef Bites:

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 (for searing, optional)

For the Potatoes:

1.5 lbs baby or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
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
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Optional Garnish:

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Beef
Pat beef cubes dry, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. 🔥 Optional: Sear in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to add rich flavor.

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce
Whisk melted butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, beef broth, and Worcestershire together in a bowl.

Step 4: Assemble in the Slow Cooker
Layer potatoes in the bottom. Add seasoned beef on top. Pour garlic butter sauce over everything.

Step 5: Cook It Low and Slow

Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
Check for fork-tender beef and potatoes before serving. 🍽️

Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Top with fresh parsley and Parmesan (optional). Serve warm with crusty bread or a fresh salad. 😋

Pro Tips

Sear the beef first for deeper flavor.
Place potatoes on the bottom — they take longer to cook than beef.
To thicken sauce: Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1/4 cup liquid, stir it back in, and cook uncovered on high for 10–15 mins.
