Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat 900g, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 lb baby potatoes 450g, halved or quartered if large
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Coat Slow Cooker:

    Coat the interior of a 6-quart slow cooker with a thin layer of non-stick spray.

  • Arrange Beef and Potatoes:

    Arrange the beef cubes on one side of the cooker and the potatoes on the opposite side, keeping them separate.

  • Season Meat and Potatoes:

    Evenly dust both the meat and potatoes with onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Toss gently to distribute, maintaining the separation.

  • Add Garlic and Butter:

    Scatter the minced garlic over the surface, then dot with butter pieces across the meat and potatoes.

  • Cook on Low:

    Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.

  • Stir and Serve:

    Once done, stir lightly to blend the juices, then serve the beef and potatoes with the buttery garlic sauce drizzled on top.
