Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 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

Other

  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads

Instructions

  1. Prepare 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 Meat and Potatoes: Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt evenly over both the beef and potatoes for balanced flavor throughout.
  3. Toss Beef: Gently toss the beef to coat it evenly with seasonings, ensuring the meat is well-flavored without mixing it into the potatoes.
  4. Add Garlic: Spread the chopped garlic evenly over both the beef and potatoes to infuse the dish with fresh garlic aroma and taste.
  5. Butter Layering: Place the butter pads evenly over the entire surface of the beef and potatoes, allowing the butter to melt and create a rich sauce as it cooks.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  7. Serve: When cooking is complete, spoon the garlic butter sauce from the bottom of the crockpot over the beef and potatoes to enhance flavor and moisture.
  8. Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your savory crockpot garlic butter beef bites with potatoes as a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use baby Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and even cooking.
  • Keep meat and potatoes separated in the crockpot for best texture and flavor distribution.
  • You can swap seasoned salt with a mix of salt, paprika, and herbs if preferred.
  • Butter adds richness; for a lighter option, reduce to 3 tablespoons or substitute with olive oil.
  • For added veggies, consider adding baby carrots or green beans in the last hour of cooking.
  • Make sure not to overcook on high; low and slow ensures tender beef.
