Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1 lb Baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup beef broth (halal)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cubing your beef stew meat and halving the baby Yukon gold potatoes to ensure they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the stick of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
  2. Place the cubed beef at the bottom of your slow cooker followed by the halved potatoes on top.
  3. Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the beef and potatoes.
  4. Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker to keep everything moist and to add depth to the flavor.
  5. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the contents in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
Serving
  1. When ready, give everything a good stir and serve in bowls with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.

Notes

Feel free to swap out beef for chicken but adjust the cooking time, and avoid adding too much liquid as the slow cooker retains moisture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
