Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Potatoes

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

Spices

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

Butter

  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef and potatoes: Rinse the beef stew meat and baby Yukon gold potatoes under cold water and pat dry. If the potatoes are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the beef and potatoes: In a large bowl, combine beef, potatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and chopped garlic. Mix well to evenly coat all ingredients with the spices.
  3. Arrange in crockpot: Place the seasoned beef and potatoes mixture into the crockpot. Distribute the mixture evenly for consistent cooking.
  4. Add butter: Dot the top of the beef and potatoes with 5 tablespoons of butter, placed in small pads, to melt slowly and enrich the flavors during cooking.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender and potatoes are cooked through.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, gently stir the mixture to distribute the melted garlic butter. Serve warm as a satisfying main dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme during cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, especially adding more salt or garlic if desired.
  • Use baby red potatoes or fingerlings as alternatives to Yukon gold potatoes.
  • Make sure not to overcook beef to avoid dryness; slow cooking on low is preferred.
