Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 pounds beef stew meat
1 pound baby yellow potatoes or baby Yukon gold
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon garlic chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pads

Equipment

6-quart slow cooker
Non-stick cooking spray

Method

Lightly spray a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the beef stew meat in one half of the slow cooker and the baby potatoes in the other half, aiming to keep them somewhat separated.
Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder and seasoned salt evenly over both the meat and the potatoes. Toss gently to coat, keeping the meat and potatoes on their respective sides.
Scatter the chopped garlic over the top and then place the pats of butter evenly across the meat and potatoes.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours (or until beef is very tender and potatoes are cooked through).
After cooking, stir gently to combine juices and serve the beef bites and potatoes with the buttery garlic sauce spooned over top.

Notes

Best served with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce. Can substitute chuck roast or brisket cut into cubes. For lighter option, use chicken thighs instead. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days in refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
