Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes – The Easiest Comfort Food That Melts in Your Mouth!
  Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
 Instructions:
 Step 1: Season for Flavor
Place your beef cubes in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated. This dry rub helps the flavors sink deep into the meat during cooking.
 Step 2: Optional – But Powerful – Searing
If you have 10 extra minutes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. This caramelization gives the beef a rich, savory depth.
 Step 3: Slow Cook Your Way to Heaven
Place the beef (seared or not) into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, butter, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Mix gently.
Add in the halved baby potatoes on top. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper.
Cover and cook:
- LOW for 7–8 hours
- HIGH for 4–5 hours
The beef should be fork-tender, and the potatoes soft and soaked with buttery, garlicky juices.
 Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Right before serving, give it a taste. Adjust salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
 Pro Tips:
- Want more garlic flavor? Add garlic paste or roasted garlic.
- Low-carb version: Skip the potatoes and serve over steamed cauliflower rice.
