Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes Recipe: A Delicious Comfort Food

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1.5 lb (≈ 680 g) beef stew meat, cut into 1‑inch cubes
• 1.5 lb (≈ 680 g) baby potatoes, halved

Garlic‑Butter Sauce

• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup low‑sodium beef broth
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings & Herbs

• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (or ½ tsp dried)
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Slow Cooking

1. Combine & Cover. Pour the garlic‑butter sauce over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker. Gently stir to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover with the lid and set the cooker to LOW for 6‑8 hours, or HIGH for 3‑4 hours. Low heat yields melt‑in‑your‑mouth tenderness.
2. Check for Doneness. After the minimum cooking time, test a potato with a fork—it should slide in easily. The beef should be fork‑tender and no longer pink in the center. If needed, add an extra 15‑30 minutes.
3. Finish & Garnish. Once done, stir in the chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if necessary. Serve directly from the slow cooker to keep it warm.
