Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Potatoes

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped

Butter

  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads

Instructions

  1. Arrange Ingredients: Place the beef stew meat in one half of the crockpot and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half, keeping the two separated.
  2. Season Meat and Potatoes: Evenly sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes to ensure balanced flavor throughout the dish.
  3. Toss Beef: Gently toss the beef to coat it thoroughly with the seasonings while keeping it separated from the potatoes to allow even cooking.
  4. Add Garlic: Distribute the chopped garlic evenly over the meat and potatoes to infuse the dish with fresh garlic flavor.
  5. Add Butter: Place the butter pads over the entire surface of both the beef and potatoes, which will melt during cooking creating a rich sauce.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and the potatoes to soften.
  7. Serve: Once done, scoop the garlic butter sauce from the bottom of the crockpot and spoon it over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy a hearty, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby Yukon gold potatoes with baby red potatoes or new potatoes if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme before cooking.
  • Ensure the butter is cut into small pads so it melts evenly during the cooking process.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the beef and potatoes after cooking and reduce the liquid on the stove for a few minutes.
  • Use lean beef stew meat for a healthier version or chuck roast cut into cubes for more tenderness.
