Description
A cozy, one-pot dinner featuring bite-sized cubes of beef and tender baby potatoes slow-cooked in a garlicky butter sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef bites (cubed beef) — chuck or stew meat
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved — red or gold recommended
- 4 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup butter — salted or unsalted
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Place the cubed beef and halved baby potatoes into the slow cooker in an even layer.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant — about 30–45 seconds; do not brown.
- Pour the garlic butter evenly over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Season with salt, pepper, and the dried thyme, scattering spices so they’re evenly distributed.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty meal.
Notes
You can swap baby potatoes for small Yukon Golds cut to similar size. If you prefer less butter, reduce to 3 tablespoons and add a splash of beef broth.
