Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes

May be an image of text that says 'OcKPOT GARLIC BUTTER BEEF BITES & POTATOES you will need 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved tablespoons butter, melted'

2. Brown the Beef (Optional but Recommended)

While this step is optional, browning your beef before placing it in the crockpot adds depth of flavor. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the beef bites for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Don’t worry about cooking them through—they’ll finish cooking in the crockpot.

3. Combine Butter and Seasonings

In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme. This garlic butter mixture will coat the beef and potatoes, infusing them with rich, aromatic flavor during cooking.

4. Layer in the Crockpot

Place the prepared potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot. Spread the seared (or raw) beef bites over the potatoes. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top, making sure everything is coated. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth to keep the dish moist and enhance the savory flavors.

5. Slow Cook

Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are soft. Avoid opening the lid too often, as this releases heat and can extend cooking time.

6. Finish and Garnish

Once cooked, gently stir the beef and potatoes to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh flavor.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes hot, either on its own or with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad. The buttery garlic sauce makes it irresistible, perfect for family dinners or meal prepping for the week.
