Description

This hearty and flavorful recipe for crockpot garlic butter beef bites with potatoes combines tender beef stew meat and baby Yukon gold potatoes cooked slowly in a rich garlic butter sauce. Perfect for a comforting meal with minimal prep, it offers a savory blend of seasonings and butter that infuses the meat and potatoes with mouthwatering taste over 6 hours of slow cooking.

Ingredients

Beef and Potatoes

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

Seasonings

  • 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 crockpot: Place the beef stew meat on one half of the crockpot and arrange the baby potatoes on the other half to keep them somewhat separated.
  2. Season evenly: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt evenly over both the beef and the potatoes for balanced flavor.
  3. Toss beef gently: Gently toss the beef to coat it evenly in the seasonings, making sure the meat stays separated from the potatoes for even cooking.
  4. Add garlic: Spread the chopped garlic on top of both the meat and the potatoes to infuse a strong garlic aroma throughout.
  5. Add butter pads: Place the five butter pads evenly over the entire dish to melt and create a rich, buttery sauce as it cooks.
  6. Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to soften while absorbing the garlic butter flavors.
  7. Serve with sauce: When cooking is complete, spoon the garlic butter sauce accumulated at the bottom over the beef and potatoes for extra moisture and flavor.
  8. Enjoy your meal: Serve the hot garlic butter beef bites and potatoes immediately and savor the comforting, savory dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby Yukon gold potatoes with other small potatoes like red potatoes or fingerlings if desired.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the beef and potatoes when done and cook the remaining juices on high for 15-20 minutes to reduce.
  • Adding fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme can enhance the flavor profile.
  • This recipe is ideal for busy days as it requires minimal preparation and uses a slow cooker.
  • Make sure to cut the butter into pads to allow even melting throughout the cooking process.
