- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp dried thyme

- 1/4 cup beef broth (or water)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the cubed beef and halved potatoes into the slow cooker.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, diced onion, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Coat the beef and potatoes: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker. Toss everything to coat evenly.

Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, broil them for 3–4 minutes at the end of cooking time after removing the slow cooker lid.
- You can add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain the tenderness of the beef.
