Description
This Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef with Creamy Potatoes recipe combines tender, slow-cooked chuck roast with velvety Yukon Gold potatoes in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a comforting and hearty meal. The beef is first seared for flavor, then slow-cooked for hours until it melts in your mouth, finished with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Potatoes
- 3 pounds Chuck Roast (Brisket or sirloin tip can be used as alternatives)
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes (Can swap with sweet potatoes for a sweeter touch)
Sauce and Seasoning
- 1/2 cup Garlic Butter (High-quality Kerrygold is recommended for optimal taste)
- 2 cups Beef Broth (Use gluten-free broth for an allergen-friendly option)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/2 cup White Wine (Omit if you prefer a simpler flavor)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (For garnish)
Instructions
- Sear the Chuck Roast: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chunks of chuck roast for 3-4 minutes per side until well browned. This step enhances the flavor through caramelization.
- Prepare Slow Cooker Layers: Place the seared beef chunks and chopped Yukon Gold potatoes evenly into the slow cooker.
- Add Liquids and Seasoning: Pour in the beef broth and melted garlic butter over the meat and potatoes. Add the white wine if using. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the mixture.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender and the potatoes are creamy.
- Serve: Once cooking is complete, transfer the beef and potatoes onto a large serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter sauce from the slow cooker and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider deglazing the skillet with a splash of beef broth or wine after searing the meat and add to the slow cooker.
- If using sweet potatoes, reduce cooking time slightly as they cook faster than Yukon Gold potatoes.
- This recipe is versatile and can be made with brisket or sirloin tip as alternatives to chuck roast.
- For a gluten-free meal, ensure your beef broth is gluten-free.
- Leftovers reheat well and flavors may deepen after a day.
