Preparing the Beef and Potatoes
Start by patting the beef cubes dry with paper towels—dry surfaces brown better. Toss the meat with a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter with 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium‑high heat. When the butter foams, add the beef in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan. Sear each side for about 3‑4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
