Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef stew meat
Vegetables and Potatoes:
- 1 pound (454 grams) baby yellow potatoes
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped garlic
Seasonings and Fats:
- 5 tablespoons (75 grams) butter, sliced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) seasoned salt
Instructions
- Layer tender beef stew meat uniformly across the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even base for the dish.
- Generously dust the meat with onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt, thoroughly massaging the seasonings to ensure complete coverage and flavor absorption.
- Strategically position baby potatoes alongside the meat, creating a balanced compartmentalization within the cooking vessel.
- Distribute sliced butter and freshly minced garlic across the meat and potato landscape, allowing the aromatics to meld during slow cooking.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set to low temperature, allowing the ingredients to simmer and transform for 6-8 hours until the beef achieves fork-tender consistency and potatoes become completely soft.
- Before serving, gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring the rich garlic butter coats every morsel of meat and potato, creating a harmonious and deeply flavorful meal.
Notes
- Choose lean cuts of beef like chuck roast for less fat and more tender meat.
- Elevate the flavor by adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme during the last hour of cooking.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to reduce carbohydrate content.
- Ensure meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption and optimal tenderness.
