1 tablespoon olive oil
# How to Make It:
01 -
Gather all ingredients. Cut the beef stew meat into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes for even cooking.
02 -
If desired, parboil the halved baby potatoes in boiling water for several minutes to slightly soften them. Drain well.
03 -
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the beef bites in batches until browned on all sides.
04 -
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
05 -
Place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef bites into the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the contents and add the beef broth.
06 -
Secure the lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and potatoes are cooked through.
07 -
Allow the dish to rest in the slow cooker for 10 minutes after cooking before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For even cooking, ensure the beef is cut into uniform pieces and do not overcrowd the skillet while searing.
