Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 900g beef chuck or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lbs 680g baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce optional, for added depth of flavor
  • Garnish Optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Red pepper flakes for a slight kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
  • Mince the garlic and chop any fresh herbs if using.

Sear the Beef (Optional, for More Flavor):

  • In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the beef bites until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  • Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:

  • Add the potatoes, garlic, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, beef broth, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and oregano into the slow cooker.
  • Stir gently to coat everything evenly.

Slow Cook:

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are soft.

Finishing Touches:

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Serve & Enjoy:

  • Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Searing the Beef: While optional, this adds a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Choosing the Right Potatoes: Baby potatoes hold their shape well, but Yukon gold or red potatoes work too.
  • Extra Sauce: If you like more sauce, increase the beef broth by ¼ to ½ cup.
  • Thicker Sauce: Stir in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
