Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. In the slow cooker, add the halved potatoes.
  3. In a bowl, combine the beef chunks with salt, pepper, onion powder, and thyme. Toss well to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Layer the seasoned beef on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef and potatoes, followed by the beef broth.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Serving
  1. Once everything is cooked to perfection, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy your delicious meal!

Notes

You can substitute regular potatoes if baby potatoes are not available. For a quicker cook, use high setting for 4-5 hours, ensuring beef is tender before serving. Avoid overcrowding the meat for even cooking.
