Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Beef Bites & Potatoes

Tender beef bites and baby potatoes slow-cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce. This hearty and flavorful dish is perfect for a comforting family dinner or a stress-free meal prep recipe.

Let me set the scene. It’s a cold evening and you’ve just come home to the scrumptious scent of garlic butter and perfectly cooked beef. If that doesn’t feel like a warm hug in a bowl, I don’t know what does! This recipe is perfect when I am short on time but want to indulge in a delicious meal that makes me feel like I have my life in order (even if I don’t, as my mountain of laundry suggests). Talking about this reminds me of the time I made this dish for my extended family – the picky cousin of mine who eats plain untoasted bread with no butter (the horror) kept asking for seconds… and thirds. Yes, this recipe is as good as it sounds – it is guaranteed to please everyone.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe?

The process is incredibly simple because the crock pot actually acts as your cooking assistant. All you have to do is put in the ingredients and it would do the hard work while you relax with a book or ponder over TikTok, it’s alright. The combination of butter and garlic is a tasty explosion. There is really no need for an extended shopping list as long as you have beef, potatoes and garlic. Leftovers? The following day, they’re actually much better, much like good wine or myself binge-watching a show, it gets better with age.

Ingredients

Here’s a sneak peek of the magic: Beef chuck or stew meat gives you tender bites that practically melt in your mouth. Baby potatoes save you the trouble of peeling. Garlic—lots of it. Vampires beware. Butter is the glue that holds my cooking (and my life) together. Fresh herbs are optional but make you look fancy when serving. The full ingredient list is hanging out at the bottom of the post, ready to join the party.

Directions:

Prep the Beef

Season those beef chunks like you’re auditioning for a cooking show. Salt, pepper, maybe a sprinkle of paprika—go wild! Bonus points if you sear them first for a little extra oomph.
