  • 2 pounds beef (sirloin or chuck) Choose sirloin for a leaner bite or chuck for rich flavor.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds aromatic depth and enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Substitute with olive oil for a lighter version.
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced Can substitute with favorite root vegetable or cauliflower for low-carb.

Preparation
  1. In a slow cooker, combine the diced beef, minced garlic, diced potatoes, and chopped onion.
  2. Melt the butter and pour it over the mixture in the slow cooker.
  3. Add the beef broth and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir everything gently to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
  6. Once done, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider searing the beef before adding to the slow cooker. Adhere to suggested cooking times to prevent dry meat. Don't skip seasoning; it enhances flavor. For a richer sauce, add a splash of red wine or insert more veggies like carrots or bell peppers.
