Instructions

Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined and fragrant.
Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the beef cubes and baby potatoes into a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the beef and potatoes, then toss gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.
Cook the Beef and Potatoes: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 7 hours, or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours. Cook until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through to a soft, but not mushy, consistency.
Finish and Serve: Before serving, stir the beef and potatoes gently to redistribute the flavors. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired to add a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, sear the beef cubes in a hot skillet for a few minutes on all sides before adding to the slow cooker.
Yukon gold or red baby potatoes are recommended as they hold their shape well during slow cooking.
Adjust seasoning after cooking if needed, as flavors meld and intensify during slow cooking.
