Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped

Fats

  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Place the beef stew meat into one half of the crockpot and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half, keeping them separated.
  2. Season the ingredients: Evenly sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes to ensure full coverage of flavors.
  3. Toss the beef: Gently toss the beef pieces to coat them evenly in the seasoning, being careful to keep the beef and potatoes separated inside the crockpot.
  4. Add garlic and butter: Sprinkle the chopped garlic on top of both the beef and potatoes then place butter pads evenly over the entire dish to enhance richness and flavor.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 hours, allowing the beef and potatoes to become tender and infused with garlic butter goodness.
  6. Serve: Once cooking is complete, spoon the garlic butter sauce from the bottom of the crockpot over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the beef before cooking.
  • To add vegetables, mix in green beans or carrots during the last hour of cooking for a veggie twist.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep, as the flavors develop further when refrigerated and reheated.
