Ingredients
Beef and Potatoes
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1½ pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
Seasonings and Butter
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the beef stew meat in one half of the crockpot and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half, keeping them separated.
- Season the ingredients: Evenly sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes to ensure they are well coated.
- Toss the beef: Gently toss the beef to evenly distribute the seasoning, while keeping it separate from the potatoes.
- Add garlic: Scatter the chopped garlic evenly on top of both the beef and potatoes to infuse the dish with rich garlic flavor.
- Add butter pads: Place the butter, divided into small pads, evenly over the entire dish to melt and create a luscious garlic butter sauce as it cooks.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- Finish and serve: Once done, spoon the garlic butter sauce from the bottom of the crockpot over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful crockpot garlic butter beef bites with potatoes!
Notes
- For best results, use baby Yukon gold potatoes as they cook evenly and have a creamy texture.
- You can substitute seasoned salt with a mix of salt and your favorite herbs if preferred.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the beef and potatoes after cooking and simmer the remaining liquid in a pan to reduce.
- To add vegetables, consider tossing in chopped carrots or celery at the start of cooking.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger crowds, but ensure your crockpot can accommodate the volume.
