Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cut beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
  2. Season the Beef: Generously season the beef chunks with salt, pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef chunks in batches. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of red chili flakes (if using). Stir well.
  5. Layer the Ingredients: Place the halved potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the browned beef on top of the potatoes.
  6. Add the Liquid: Pour the beef broth over the beef and potatoes, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  7. Drizzle the Garlic Butter: Pour the garlic butter sauce over the beef and potatoes.
  8. Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to low. Cook for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
