Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing, optional)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of thyme, oregano, basil)
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 medium onion, sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Optional: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  3. Place the halved Yukon Gold potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Add the seared beef chunks on top of the potatoes. If using, sprinkle the sliced onions and chopped carrots over the beef.
  5. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian herbs, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and chopped parsley.
  6. Pour the broth evenly over the beef and potatoes. Drizzle everything with the garlic butter sauce and gently toss the ingredients to combine.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender and the potatoes are soft but not mushy.
  8. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thin, leave it uncovered for 15 minutes or mash a few potatoes into the broth to thicken it.
  9. Transfer the beef and potatoes to a serving platter. Spoon the remaining sauce over the top, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
