Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast A budget-friendly cut that becomes tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
  • 1 stick unsalted butter Adds richness and flavor while helping to create a savory gravy.
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, minced Provides a warm, aromatic base that infuses the beef and potatoes with robust flavor.
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes Their creamy texture complements the beef well and absorbs all that delicious garlic butter goodness.
  • 1 cup beef broth Enhances the flavor profile by creating a savory base for the gravy.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential for balancing the flavors and ensuring a tasty dish.
  • Fresh herbs (optional) Such as thyme or rosemary for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck and cut it into 2-inch chunks. Place the beef into the slow cooker.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  3. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Add in the beef broth, ensuring all the meat is well-coated.
  4. Wash and half the baby potatoes, then place them on top of the beef.
  5. Generously season with salt and pepper. If using fresh herbs, add them at this stage.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
  7. Once done, serve warm straight from the slow cooker. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
