- 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Seasonings and Fats:
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 5 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Arrange beef stew meat on one side of the slow cooker, positioning baby potatoes on the opposite side to maintain separation.
- Evenly distribute onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt across both meat and potatoes, ensuring comprehensive flavor coverage.
- Gently manipulate the beef to guarantee uniform seasoning, being careful to maintain the initial positioning.
- Scatter freshly chopped garlic over the entire slow cooker surface, creating an aromatic layer.
- Strategically place butter pads across the meat, potatoes, and garlic to infuse rich, creamy flavor during cooking.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set to low temperature, allowing contents to simmer and tenderize for approximately 6 hours.
- When cooking concludes, verify beef’s tenderness and complete internal cooking.
- Before serving, ladle the accumulated savory sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker over the meat and potatoes, ensuring maximum flavor distribution.
- Plate and savor the garlic-infused, butter-rich beef and potato ensemble.
Notes
- Opt for chuck roast or sirloin tip for the most tender and flavorful beef bites that melt in your mouth.
- Ensure even seasoning by shaking the spices through a fine-mesh sieve for uniform coverage across meat and potatoes.
- Keep potatoes whole to prevent them from breaking down during slow cooking, maintaining their perfect texture and shape.
- Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme sprinkled on top for an extra layer of aromatic complexity in the dish.
