Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter, cut into 1 tablespoon pads
- 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all the ingredients including chopping the garlic and measuring out the dry seasonings to streamline the cooking process.
- Place Beef and Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Arrange the beef stew meat on one half of the slow cooker insert and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half to allow for even cooking without mixing.
- Season the Meat and Potatoes: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and the potatoes for a balanced flavorful base.
- Toss the Beef: Mix the beef gently to ensure it is evenly coated with the seasonings while ensuring it stays separated from the potatoes to maintain distinct cooking.
- Add Garlic and Butter: Evenly distribute the chopped garlic over the beef and potatoes, then place the butter pads on top to melt into the dish during cooking, adding richness and depth of flavor.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat. Allow the beef and potatoes to cook undisturbed for 6 hours or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the beef bites and potatoes hot, spooning some of the buttery sauce from the slow cooker over the top for extra moisture and taste.
Notes
- Do not disturb the slow cooker while cooking to allow proper heat circulation.
- You may substitute baby Yukon gold potatoes with other small waxy potatoes if desired.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences, especially if using salted butter.
- For thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and tastes even better the next day.
