Ingredients
2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch chunks
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pads
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Place the beef chunks and halved baby potatoes into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Scatter the seasoning mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes.
Place the pads of butter evenly across the top of the ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until the beef is fork-tender and potatoes are cooked through.
Stir gently before serving to emulsify the garlic butter sauce and coat all ingredients.
Notes
Ensure all beef pieces are roughly uniform in size for even cooking. Avoid opening the lid during the first 5 hours to maintain consistent slow-cooker temperature. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
