This hearty and flavorful crockpot recipe features tender garlic butter beef bites paired with baby Yukon gold potatoes, slow-cooked to perfection.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Beef and Potatoes

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes

Seasonings and Butter

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Begin by placing the beef stew meat on one half of the crockpot insert and arranging the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half to keep them separate during cooking.
  2. Season the Ingredients: Evenly sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes to ensure balanced flavor throughout the dish.
  3. Toss the Beef: Gently toss the beef pieces to coat them thoroughly with the seasonings without mixing with the potatoes, maintaining separation for even cooking.
  4. Add Fresh Garlic: Sprinkle the chopped fresh garlic evenly on top of both the beef and potatoes to enhance the dish with aromatic garlic flavor.
  5. Add Butter Pads: Distribute the five tablespoons of butter, cut into small pads, evenly over the meat and potatoes to melt during slow cooking, creating a rich garlic butter sauce.
  6. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 hours to allow the beef to become tender and the potatoes to cook through gently.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, spoon the flavorful garlic butter sauce that collects at the bottom over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, melt-in-your-mouth crockpot meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the beef before cooking to give a smoky depth to the dish.
  • You can add green beans or carrots during the last hour of cooking to incorporate some veggies and additional texture.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep as it keeps well and can be reheated easily.
