Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Garlic Butter Beef Bites. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, ensuring a uniform size for even cooking. Halve the baby potatoes to help them cook through more effectively.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the beef bites to the pan in a single layer. Sear the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well incorporated.
  • In your slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes at the bottom. Layer the seared beef bites over the potatoes. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the beef and potatoes, then add 1 cup of beef broth.
  • Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the Garlic Butter Beef Bites rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Choose quality beef cuts like chuck or sirloin for the best results. Searing the beef adds depth of flavor, and parboiling baby potatoes can enhance their texture.
