Equipment

  • 1 crockpot

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Beef stew meat cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes halved if large
  • 6 tbsp Butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning 1 tbsp or 1 tbsp Garlic & Herb seasoning
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Chili flakes optional
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth

Instructions

  • Prepare: Lightly spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Layer: Add the baby potatoes to the bottom of the pot, then layer the beef stew meat directly on top.
  • Whisk: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, and all seasonings (ranch, paprika, onion powder, pepper, salt, and chili flakes).
  • Coat: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef and potatoes. Stir gently to ensure everything is coated.
  • Liquid: Carefully pour the beef broth around the inner edges of the crockpot (try not to wash the seasoning off the meat).
  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Finish: Give it a final stir to emulsify the juices, taste for salt, and serve hot.
