4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp (3 g) onion powder
1 tsp (2 g) smoked paprika
½ tsp (0.5 g) dried thyme
½ tsp (0.5 g) dried rosemary
½ tsp (3 g) salt, or to taste
¼ tsp (1 g) black pepper
¼ cup (60 ml) beef broth
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
Instructions
Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sear beef in batches, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to slow cooker.
Add Potatoes: Place halved baby potatoes into the slow cooker with the beef.
Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and beef broth.
Coat the Ingredients: Pour the garlic butter mixture over beef and potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are soft.
Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
Deglaze the skillet with broth and add to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
Yukon Gold or red potatoes work as substitutes.
Add more garlic if you love a stronger kick.
Searing is optional, but adds deep flavor and helps seal in juices.
