4.6 from 53 reviews

This Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes recipe combines tender beef stew meat and baby Yukon Gold potatoes cooked slowly with seasoned butter and aromatic spices. Perfect for an easy, comforting meal, the beef absorbs the garlic and onion flavors while the potatoes become buttery and soft. Ideal for a hands-off dinner served alongside roasted vegetables or garlic bread.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef

  • 2 pounds Beef Stew Meat (use chuck or round for best tenderness)
  • 1 tablespoon Seasoned Salt (or your favorite seasoning mix)

For the Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes (no peeling required)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted for better flavor control)

For the Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (optional for added depth)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (consider fresh garlic for bolder flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place half of the beef stew meat on one side of the slow cooker, then add half of the baby Yukon Gold potatoes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining beef and potatoes, creating two layers.
  3. Season Generously: Sprinkle the seasoned salt evenly over the beef and potatoes. Then add the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper across all ingredients to enhance the flavor.
  4. Add Butter: Distribute the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in pats over the beef and potatoes to allow for a rich garlic butter flavor as it melts during cooking.
  5. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for approximately 6 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to soak up all the garlic butter and seasoning.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, serve the garlic butter beef bites and potatoes hot, ideally accompanied by roasted vegetables or garlic bread to complete the comforting meal.

Notes

  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added color and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense garlic flavor.
  • You can substitute the seasoned salt with your favorite seasoning blend to customize the taste.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
