Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Season the beef bites with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 2: Sear the Beef (Optional but Recommended)

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. This step enhances the flavor but can be skipped for convenience.

Step 3: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Add the halved potatoes to the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4: Add the Beef

Layer the seasoned beef bites over the potatoes.

Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and beef broth. Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes.

Step 6: Cook

Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, straight from the slow cooker, alongside a side salad or crusty bread.
