Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Beef. Use sirloin steak or cubed flank steak for tender bites.
  • Potatoes. Baby or new potatoes work well; cut them in half if they are larger.
  • Garlic. Fresh garlic is essential for flavor; use minced garlic cloves.
  • Butter. Unsalted butter is recommended for this recipe.
  • Beef broth. Adds depth to the flavor; you can use low sodium if preferred.
  • Worcestershire sauce. This adds a savory element to the dish.
  • Salt. To taste; enhances overall flavors.
  • Pepper. Freshly ground is best for the most flavor.
  • Parsley. Fresh parsley for garnish adds a beautiful touch and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  2. Gather all your ingredients and lay them out on your countertop. You should have chunks of beef, potatoes, garlic, butter, and any herbs or spices specified in your recipe. Dice the garlic finely, as this will infuse the Garlic Butter Beef with rich flavor. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes; cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking in the slow cooker.
  3. Step 2: Season the Beef
  4. Next, season your beef chunks generously with salt and pepper. This crucial step adds a robust base flavor that complements the garlic and butter perfectly. Consider adding any additional herbs or spices you love at this stage, such as rosemary or thyme. Let the beef sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors while you move on to the next step.
  5. Step 3: Brown the Beef
  6. In a skillet over medium heat, melt some butter and allow it to get bubbly. Carefully add the seasoned beef chunks to the pan. Sear them on all sides until they acquire a savory golden-brown crust. This step is essential for enhancing the flavor of your Garlic Butter Beef. As they brown, your kitchen will start to smell incredible—this is the scent of deliciousness!
  7. Step 4: Prepare the Slow Cooker
  8. Once the beef is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker. Beautifully arrange those browned pieces in an even layer. Next, add the chopped potatoes around the beef for even cooking. This will create a delectable mixture as the flavors meld during the cooking process.
  9. Step 5: Add Garlic and Butter
  10. Now, take that finely chopped garlic and scatter it over the beef and potatoes. Follow this with dollops of butter over the mixture. The butter will slowly melt, enveloping everything in sumptuous richness, making the Garlic Butter Beef even more mouthwatering.
  11. Step 6: Set the Slow Cooker
  12. Pour in a bit of beef broth or water to help with the cooking process, making sure not to drown your ingredients. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat for 6-8 hours, or high for about 4 hours. As it cooks, you can relax, knowing that a delicious meal is on its way.
  13. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
  14. When the cooking time is up, carefully remove the lid and take in the irresistible aroma! Check that the beef is tender and the potatoes are fork-tender. Serve your Garlic Butter Beef hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy each bite knowing you created something incredible

Timing is Everything
