Ingredients
- 2 pound beef stew meat
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 pound baby yellow potatoes
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
Instructions
1. Prep the Slow Cooker: Start by lightly spraying the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Add Meat and Seasonings: Place the beef stew meat on one side of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over the top. Then, scatter the chopped garlic evenly over the meat.
3. Add Potatoes: Arrange the baby potatoes on the other side of the slow cooker, keeping them somewhat separate from the beef bites.
4. Top with Butter: Lay the slices of butter evenly over both the meat and the potatoes. As the dish cooks, the butter will melt and create a delectable, garlic-infused sauce.
5. Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cooking time is up, gently stir everything together to coat the beef and potatoes in the garlic butter sauce. Spoon the Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes onto plates and serve hot.
Notes
Adjust cooking times based on your specific slow cooker model. Older or smaller slow cookers may require slightly longer cooking times to achieve the desired tenderness.
For even more veggies, feel free to add diced carrots, onions, or mushrooms to the mix. Just be sure to keep them in a single layer on top of the beef and potatoes.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the beef and potatoes from the slow cooker, then transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and simmer it on the stove until it reaches your desired consistency.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth or water to prevent the dish from drying out.
