Meat and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1½ pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
Butter
- 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads
- Prepare Ingredients: Begin by placing the beef stew meat in one half of the crockpot and the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other side to keep them separated for even cooking.
- Season the Meat and Potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes. Gently toss the beef to coat it completely with the seasoning, making sure it remains separated from the potatoes.
- Add Fresh Garlic: Scatter the chopped garlic evenly on top of the meat and potatoes for enhanced garlic flavor throughout the dish.
- Add Butter: Place the butter pads over the entire contents in the crockpot, allowing them to melt and create a rich garlic butter sauce as the dish cooks.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to cook through while absorbing the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooking is complete, spoon the flavorful garlic butter sauce from the bottom of the crockpot over the beef and potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, hearty meal.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
- You can substitute Yukon gold potatoes with baby red potatoes or russet potatoes for different textures.
- Beef stew meat can be replaced with chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces for similar results.
- Do not open the crockpot during cooking as it will release heat and extend cooking time.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
