⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6–8 hours (low) or 3–4 hours (high)
Total Time: Up to 8 hours, 15 minutes
Servings: 4

📝 Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup beef broth
1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prep the Ingredients:
Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes for even cooking.
Optional Step – Parboil the Potatoes:
For quicker and softer potatoes, parboil them in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Sear the Beef:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. This adds flavor and locks in the juices. 🔥
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Combine in the Slow Cooker:
Place the halved potatoes and seared beef into the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over everything. Add the beef broth.
Cook Until Tender:
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours. The beef should be fork-tender and the potatoes soft.
Rest & Serve:
Let everything rest for 10 minutes in the cooker before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. 🌿

💡 Pro Tips:

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Substitutions: Swap beef stew meat for chuck roast or even sirloin for a more tender bite.
Meal Prep Friendly: Prep all ingredients the night before and refrigerate. Just toss it all in the slow cooker in the morning.
Serving Ideas: Pairs well with steamed green beans, garlic bread, or a crisp green salad.
