Description
Tender cubes of beef and halved baby potatoes cooked in garlic butter, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef bites (cubed beef)
- 2 cups baby potatoes (halved)
- 4 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup butter (salted or unsalted)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Place the cubed beef and halved baby potatoes into the slow cooker in an even layer.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30–45 seconds; do not brown.
- Pour the garlic butter evenly over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Season with salt, pepper, and the dried thyme, scattering spices so they’re evenly distributed.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty meal.
Notes
For a lower-fat option, swap half the butter for olive oil. If you prefer softer potatoes, cut them a bit smaller. This recipe is already gluten-free.
