Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes is the ultimate comfort food—tender, juicy beef bites and buttery, flavorful potatoes infused with garlic and herbs. Set it, forget it, and let the slow cooker do the work! Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef stew meat (or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Sear the beef: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Prep the slow cooker: Add the halved baby potatoes to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seared beef bites on top.
- Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook: Pour the sauce over the beef and potatoes. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Finish & serve: Stir everything together, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot!
Notes:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the broth.
- If using a tougher cut of meat, cook on LOW for best results.
