Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Sauté minced garlic in melted butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Deglaze the skillet with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, simmering with thyme and rosemary for 2 minutes.
  4. Combine seared beef and garlic-herb sauce in the slow cooker, ensuring beef is coated.
  5. Add halved baby potatoes on top of the beef and sauce.
  6. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until beef is tender and potatoes are soft.
  7. Stir the mixture gently to combine before serving hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

Searing the beef enhances flavor; adjust seasoning before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
