A comforting slow-cooked beef dish with tender beef and creamy baby Yukon Gold potatoes in a rich garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing, optional)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of thyme, oregano, basil)
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 medium onion, sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Optional: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the seared beef chunks on top.
  4. Scatter sliced onion and chopped carrots over the beef and potatoes if using.
  5. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and chopped parsley.
  6. Pour beef broth evenly over the beef and potatoes. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over everything and gently toss to combine.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
  8. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thin, leave it uncovered for 15 minutes or mash a couple of potatoes into the broth to thicken.
  9. Transfer the beef and potatoes to a serving platter. Spoon extra sauce over the top, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Consider adding Worcestershire sauce or different herbs to enhance flavor. Marinate the beef overnight for richer taste.
