Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs chuck roast or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces

- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire or soy sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter and sear the beef pieces until lightly browned on all sides.
- Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker and add the halved potatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and Dijon mustard.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cooking
- Cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
- Optional: Broil the beef and potatoes for 2–3 minutes for crispy edges.
Serving
- Serve this dish warm right from the slow cooker. It pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Notes
You can substitute the potatoes with root vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes for a different taste. Make sure to brown the beef well for extra flavor before transferring to the slow cooker. For a thicker sauce, remove the beef and potatoes after cooking, then thicken the sauce by simmering it on the stove.
