Ingredients

Scale

Meat 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. Prepare the crockpot: Place the beef stew meat on one half of the crockpot and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half, keeping them separated for even cooking.
  2. Season evenly: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt uniformly over both the beef and potatoes to layer in flavor.
  3. Toss beef gently: Carefully toss the beef pieces to coat them in the seasonings without mixing with the potatoes.
  4. Add garlic: Sprinkle the chopped garlic over both meat and potatoes to infuse the dish with aromatic garlic flavor.
  5. Top with butter: Distribute the butter pads evenly over the entire crockpot contents to melt slowly during cooking, enriching the sauce.
  6. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on the low setting for 6 hours to allow the beef to become tender and potatoes to soften perfectly.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, spoon the garlic butter sauce collected at the bottom over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting, flavorful dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use baby Yukon gold potatoes as they cook evenly and absorb flavors well.
  • Do not mix the meat and potatoes before cooking to ensure they maintain their texture.
  • Butter pads help create a rich sauce; feel free to adjust quantity based on preference.
  • You can add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional aroma if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
