Instructions

Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
(Optional) Parboil the potatoes for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the garlic butter sauce.
Add the halved potatoes and seared beef to the slow cooker. Pour in the garlic butter sauce and beef broth.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Add vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers for variety.
Swap beef stew meat with sirloin or chuck for a different texture.
Add cayenne or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Experiment with herbs like oregano or basil, or add lemon zest for freshness.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently with extra broth if needed.
