Description
This is the recipe that saved Thanksgiving (no joke!) and now it’s my ultimate go-to for busy weeks, snowy nights, and “I just want to eat something amazing” days. Tender beef, golden potatoes, and rich garlic butter sauce—made easy in your slow cooker. It’s hearty, hug-you-from-the-inside food with zero kitchen drama. Let’s make dinner magical.
Ingredients
-
2 lbs beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cubed)
-
1½ lbs baby potatoes (or chopped Yukon golds)
-
4 tbsp butter, melted
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Layer: Add beef and potatoes to your slow cooker.
-
Mix Sauce: Combine melted butter, garlic, Worcestershire, seasoning, salt & pepper. Pour over beef and potatoes.
-
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are fork-soft.
-
Optional: If sauce is thin, stir in 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water. Cook 10 more minutes.
-
Serve: Spoon into bowls, drizzle with sauce, and top with parsley.
Notes
-
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes + smoked paprika.
