The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that bring out the best flavors. Opt for quality cuts of beef, and don’t skimp on fresh garlic. These simple ingredients come together to create something magical.
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides, working in batches if necessary. This step seals in the juices and adds flavor.
- Transfer the browned beef to your crockpot. Add the halved potatoes on top.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, just until fragrant.
- Pour the garlic butter over the beef and potatoes in the crockpot. Sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper.
- 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 soft.
- Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
