Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1.5 pounds Potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold preferred)
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 1 cup Beef Broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Pepper, freshly ground
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Start by trimming the beef chuck roast and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, preferably using Yukon Golds for their creamy texture. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Combine the ingredients in the slow cooker: Place the beef pieces and diced potatoes into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic on top.
- Add liquids and seasonings: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture on low for 8 hours (480 minutes), or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked and soft.
- Finish and serve: Once cooked, gently stir the beef and potatoes to evenly coat them with the buttery garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Using low-sodium beef broth helps control the overall saltiness of the dish.
- Yukon Gold potatoes are preferred as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
- For a richer flavor, you can brown the beef chunks in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker, though this step is optional.
- Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
