Ingredients
1.5 lbs beef stew meat (cut into cubes)
1 lb baby potatoes (halved if large)
4 tbsp butter (melted)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
½ cup beef broth
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
Start by preparing your crockpot. Lightly grease it or spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add the cubed beef and baby potatoes directly into the crockpot.

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried herbs. Pour this flavorful garlic butter mixture over the beef and potatoes, making sure everything is well coated.

Drizzle in the olive oil and pour the beef broth around the sides. This will help keep the dish moist and create a rich, savory sauce as it cooks.

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The beef should become tender and easy to pull apart, and the potatoes should be soft and fully cooked.

About 30 minutes before serving, you can gently stir the mixture to coat everything in the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, leave the lid slightly open during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking.

Serving Suggestions
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. This dish pairs perfectly with a side salad, crusty bread, or steamed vegetables. It can also be served over rice for a more filling meal.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through. This dish also freezes well for up to 2 months, making it great for meal prep.
