This Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes is a hearty and flavorful slow-cooked dish combining tender beef stew meat with tender baby Yukon gold potatoes, infused with garlic, onion, and seasoned salt, finished with rich butter for a comforting meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Potatoes

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1½ pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the beef stew meat and baby Yukon gold potatoes under cold water. Pat dry the beef and leave the potatoes whole if small, or halve them if larger to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Meat: In a large bowl, toss the beef stew meat with onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt, making sure all pieces are evenly coated for balanced flavor.
  3. Layer in Crockpot: Place the seasoned beef stew meat into the bottom of the crockpot. Add the baby Yukon gold potatoes on top of the beef, distributing evenly.
  4. Add Garlic and Butter: Sprinkle the chopped garlic over the potatoes and beef. Place the butter pads evenly over the top to melt during cooking, creating a rich garlic butter sauce.
  5. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are soft but intact, absorbing the garlic butter flavors.
  6. Serve Warm: Once cooked, gently stir the beef and potatoes to distribute the melted butter and garlic, then serve the beef bites and potatoes hot as a satisfying main dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact; avoid pre-minced garlic in jars.
  • Baby Yukon gold potatoes hold their shape well and add a buttery taste, but red potatoes can be a good substitute.
  • Do not over-stir during cooking to keep the potatoes and beef in nice bite-sized pieces.
  • Seasoned salt often contains salt and herbs; adjust additional salt according to taste preferences.
  • Optional: garnish with fresh parsley or chives for added color and freshness before serving.
