Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasonings
- 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 the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Measure out the beef stew meat, spices, garlic, butter, and potatoes to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Place Beef and Potatoes: Place the beef stew meat on one half of the slow cooker and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half to keep them separated initially for even cooking.
- Season the Meat and Potatoes: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt evenly over the beef and potatoes, then toss the beef gently to coat it thoroughly while keeping it separate from the potatoes.
- Add Garlic and Butter: Evenly sprinkle the chopped garlic on top of the mixture and distribute the pads of butter over the meat and potatoes to infuse the flavors as they cook.
- Cook in Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to cook through, resulting in a flavorful and rich dish.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the beef bites and potatoes hot, spooning some of the savory sauce from the slow cooker over the top for added flavor.
Notes
- Do not mix beef and potatoes initially to ensure even cooking.
- Use baby Yukon gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Butter cut into pads helps to evenly distribute flavor during slow cooking.
- Seasoned salt adds a nice blend of herbs and salt; adjust seasoning based on preference.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added freshness, garnish with chopped parsley before serving if desired.
