Tender beef bites slow-cooked with garlic butter sauce and baby potatoes for a rich, comforting one-pot meal.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef bites on all sides to seal in the juices.
  2. Transfer the browned beef into the slow cooker.
  3. Place the halved baby potatoes on top of the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour the garlic butter evenly over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker.
  6. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the beef is tender and potatoes are cooked through.
  8. Before serving, stir in freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness.

Notes

  • For variation, substitute baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or add carrots and mushrooms.
  • Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
  • Use rosemary or oregano instead of thyme to change the flavor profile.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding broth if needed to keep moist.
  • Freeze leftovers in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce and check beef broth labels to keep it gluten-free.
  • Melt butter and cook garlic gently to avoid burning and bitterness.
