Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 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
Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the beef stew meat on one half of the slow cooker and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half, keeping them separated for even cooking and seasoning.
- Season Beef and Potatoes: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt evenly over both the beef and potatoes. Toss the beef gently to ensure the seasoning is distributed evenly while keeping it separate from the potatoes.
- Add Garlic and Butter: Sprinkle the chopped garlic over the beef and potatoes, then place the butter pads evenly on top of the mixture to add richness and flavor as it cooks.
- Cook Slow and Low: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 hours 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 flavorful sauce from the slow cooker over the top for extra taste.
Notes
- For best results, use baby Yukon gold potatoes to ensure even cooking and a creamy texture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and reduce it over medium heat before serving.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings, just ensure your slow cooker is large enough to accommodate.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a microwave or stovetop pan.
