Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.

Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef bites until browned on all sides.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the garlic butter sauce.
- In the slow cooker, place the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and add beef broth.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Serving
- Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve these delightful beef bites hot, allowing the savory garlic butter sauce to coat each bite of tender meat and potato. Pair the dish with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. A dash of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick. For robust flavor, consider marinating the beef in garlic and spices for a few hours before cooking.
