1 lb beef Choose a tender cut like sirloin for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience.
1 cup beef broth This adds depth to the flavor and keeps the beef juicy.

1 lb baby potatoes Their small size ensures they cook evenly and soak up flavors beautifully.

4 tablespoons butter Use unsalted for better control over the dish's saltiness.
4 cloves garlic Freshly minced garlic enhances the aroma and taste of your meal.
1 teaspoon onion powder This adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the garlic sauce.
1 teaspoon smoked paprika Adds a rich, smoky flavor that complements the beef well.
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme This herb brings a hint of earthiness that perfectly balances the richness.
0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary Rosemary elevates the dish with its fragrant scent and flavor.
1 teaspoon salt Essential to enhance all the flavors in the dish.
0.5 teaspoon black pepper For a small kick that rounds out the dish beautifully.
1 tablespoon olive oil It helps to sear the beef and adds healthy fats.

Gather all ingredients for the Garlic Butter Beef Bites. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and halve the baby potatoes.
If desired, parboil the halved baby potatoes in salted water for about 5 minutes to enhance tenderness.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef bites until golden brown for about 3-4 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
In the slow cooker, layer the halved baby potatoes and seared beef. Pour the garlic butter sauce and beef broth over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Once done, let the Garlic Butter Beef Bites rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Perfect for a cozy meal; serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete dish.
