Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups beef broth

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sear the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Season the beef cubes with salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Working in batches, add the beef to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Pour this garlic butter mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

      Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the halved baby potatoes on top of the beef in the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, and sprinkle with thyme. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

        Cook Slowly: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

          Final Touches: Once cooked, stir the mixture gently. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Ladle the beef and potatoes into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious slow cooker garlic butter beef bites and potatoes!
